ahh thank you, however i don't believe baselayout-2 is out of unstable yet and 
our requirements for certain machines is everything must come from stable 
production branches (not my policy believe me :) )..  ill play with that for 
myself but i cant use it in production unfortunately until it is released in 
the stable branch. will double check though to be sure and if it is stable 
ill go for it.
