Hello,

Nobody can have root or sudo access on the amd64 box.  I know nothing
will happen but it just can't happen for many many reasons (I work for a
casino).  I have a Compaq DL360 G1 with dual P3 Xeon 1GHz chips and
600something megs of ram.  I think it'll be a helpful box.. but..  I
need to get the HDD cooperating in it and I need to install i386-sid.
Give me some time and I'll get back to you guys with a box.  I also have
a sempron 3000+ too but it's often quite busy with mythtv duties.

Thanks,
Mark
