And test drives then put an operating system on the ML-530.

Maybe I'll test drives here, that could take a while.  Same for memtest, since 
it's e-bay memory.  You never know.  I've not unpacked them after buying them 
on e-bay.  There were four drives in the machine (with six bays), and I bought 
three additional drives and five mounting brackets.

That means I have an extra drive to leave with the machine, and I'll have three 
mounting brackets extra.  The three mounting brackets could conceivably end up 
in one of the other ML-530 systems currently at surplus.

The machine had 1.25G RAM, and I bought another gig for it.  There's lots of 
room for additional chips - looks like you can fit 16GB into it with 1G DIMMS.

Assuming I can test the hardware, we can decide on an OS (Debian Etch?) and 
install it during a meeting.  Then talk about services to be offered (Apache, 
Ecartis?), firewall, remote management (OpenVPN?), and extras.

Hmm.  Sounds like work.
