[MOBY-l] Multiple Centrals on Same server

[Rajasekar Karthik]

Mark,
So far, I like it. I heard the moby user community is increasing - making it
popular. I will try to help too. This week, I am going to try creating .deb
packages from the source and see if I can get it just working by just
copying the same to a new machine and a script to configure the necessary
files. I will post the same here or create a debian/ubuntu repository on my
machine.
