I'v  been playing around with osm and t at h for a while now and I'm starting to 
get the picture and I really like it. I also can offer some hardware 
resources right now one server

4x3G Intel Xeon, 2G ECC RAM, 4x36G 15K HDD raid0 - this server is little or 
now load (LTSP running on mandriva)

at the moment I can't promise any public internet connection (a'la ftp, http. 
It will be available when I set up and configure the firewall). I think 
personal user accounts are thinkable over ssh.

but in near future I'm expecting two more servers with better configuration 
then this one.

So if you think this hardware can be any good for you then just say how :)

Ps. It is possible that if you need some special hardware configuration (like 
more disk space / memory etc. then tell me and I can see what can I do about 
the two new servers ;) )
