I don't want to use it as a desktop machine (it acts as a WWW and FTP
server), so it isn't very important, but it would be nice to have X
available.  I do have a serial console.  I plan on installing the
20021121-1.6_STABLE snapshot and upgrading to -current (the existing
machine runs -current).  Hopefully that snapshot is installable via
the system console, though.

I don't know.  Right now, the machine is locked away in someone's
office, so I can't poke about to see what it actually has installed,
hardware-wise.

Thanks for all the info.  It is very helpful.

Cheers,

Paul.
