Can't believe I missed this thread...

Cheers guys for doing all this. I tried to put these points forward before:

...but didn't really get any buy-in.

So it's awesome that you've done this. I'd love to help as I have a meaty server sitting largely idle...but disk space is an issue and I'm out of work ATM...so won't be upgrading for the time being

I'm also a Debian aficionado, so can help in that regard if need be.
