[lazarus] searching package testers

[Rainer Hamann]

1) I've sent an article about my server configuration tool to the freeX 
journal, may be it will be published in the next journal. May be a second 
article will be published in the Toolbox journal. It would be nice, if both 
journals could contain at least a rpm version of lazarus : -))

2) I've been advertising other teachers a few day before and I think a few of 
them will begin to use lazarus, if there will be a simple installation for 
Windows.
