Many people asked about the use of OpenPGK.
I believe it was a good decision to use OpenPGK,
as it is quite suitable for the server installations 
Kolab Server is targetting. Unfortunately many people had
problems with Kolab's installation and blamed it on
OpenPKG, because they did not know OpenPKG
and assumed it was the cause.
As we improve the installations instructions
and the OpenPGK packages, those problems would be gone.

We probably need a good text
so people can understand why we use OpenPGK
on the webpage.

I've tried starting one.
Attached my draft, based on the SGML version we
had. It is not completed yet, but I wanted to give you a 
rough outline.
