Will /usr fit if you don't install comp, games, man, etc.?  (all of the
latter can easily be installed on a union-mounted NFS partition, or even
on another local spindle if you have one).

Can you net-boot that machine?

Which is faster at filesystem accesses and at swap accesses:  NFS or the
RD53?
