There's more than one left/right-axis. There's left/right in economics
(who should have the money, if there should be money at all that is),
and left/right in control (freedom vs. Big Brother) and probably more.
But now we are way off topic, so I'll stop here and go back to doing
what I'm supposed to do, set up and test Samba w/LDAP for our own little
linux-distribution (sigh, why LDAP?! It's so... unesthetic.)
