Joerg, Roland and others indicated on the summit conference calls that
they wanted to be able to do a "bare metal" install.

However, I know that some of the things desired could possibly be
doable with what you suggest.

These would be set up in one of the "spare" rooms, so that shouldn't
be an issue.

Personally, I'm still of the view that the time period we have is too
short to bring in this much hardware, but I'm not the one who asked
for it, so I can't assess the need properly.
