Cool. Do what you want/can with the hardware but 4 gigs for the /home
directory for mailing lists archive and Wikipedia backups would be a bit
tight, no?

I think that would be the best solution - esp given Jason's email about space
and IP address constraints. We really should reserve all the space and IPs we
can get for production boxes used for webserver and database functions.
It would also be great if this could be used at piclab as Lee suggested since
that would save me 30 bucks in shipping (Lee and I live about 30 minutes from
each other) and the mail server would be easy for Lee to fix if needed. How
much bandwidth would all the mailing lists suck anyway? IMO it would be best
to keep them all on the same box wherever they end-up.

If it weren't for Wikipedia downtime/slowness I would rarely get a chance to
clean my apartment, do laundry or finish school work :-)

PS I just want to thank Jason for driving the 200 miles and spending the time
needed (on a Saturday!) to fix the Wikipedia server. Thank you Jason!
