Neat!
It's more up to Brion and the other developers as to when we'll be able to go live on these. I'm just going to get them up and running and make sure that the latest (most secure) ssh is on them.
We will do *nothing* with them until they've passed thorough memory tests and maybe some disk grinding for good measure.
If you guys could run a few passes of memtest86 on each machine before setting them up and putting them on a nework, that would be great. We can run memtester inside the OS but that's not necessarily as reliable.
