That low?  Seriously?  wow.  ok, that's covered.

Ok, what else... you've mentioned "more people able to roll
releases", which would be a fantastic way to increase our bus
factor.  However, that would require serious horsepower, and
you've only got six (according to the website).  I'm only bringing
my netbook, and I know that your laptop can't handle it.  I
suppose that I could leave my university desktop on and we could
ssh into it (under supervision), but if anybody has a reasonably
powerful desktop computer and doesn't mind bringing it, that would
make the process _much_ easier.  I can bring a CD with the
relevant downloads so that we don't need to download 600 MB+ on
your rural internet connection[1].


[1] which, in the US or Canada, would absolutely suck, but I now
suspect is better than my connection in central Glasgow.
