  The CERN to Gran Sasso Neutrino beam (CNGS) was commissioned at CERN in early
August 2006 and was first sent at low intensity to Gran Sasso on August 17,
2006. The Borexino, LVD and OPERA experiments continued the commissioning of
their detectors and started taking data with practically no dead time. The CNGS
collected several hundred events with clean time distributions.
