Okay, how serious a server do we need? I have a dual-core opteron
1.8GHz box w/4GB of RAM sitting around doing absolutely nothing at
home right now. If we really want to kickstart things towards koji and
git, I could throw rhel6 on it and make it available. Its obviously
not super-high-end, so not sure if it could be both the hub and a
builder, but its not a VM and has way more than 256M of RAM... Not
sure what it has for disks at the moment either, but storage is cheap
(the case has 4 bays in it).
