Awesome, Gaylen! Is the Sun system a Sparc or x86 based system? If
Sparc, we will have to search for a debian that runs on sparc or perhaps
handroll our apache and such. Asuming we save compile notes that may be
fine with me. Very cool on the hosting and DMZ situation too!

For the dev server we don't need that much data transfer, we can just
install skeleton binaries for our services and load them with a bit of
test data, don't need too much to test the integration at first.

Our main datasources are:

Animal Shelter Manager 2.3.X (we hand compiled and did some source
modification). I can get you access to the subversion. The data is
stored in a MySQL 5 database that I also compiled myself. (Ver 14.12
Distrib 5.0.37, for pc-linux-gnu (i686))

OTRS (Open Ticket Request System) 2.2.4 backended against the same
MySQL DB as above

Confluence Wiki 2.7.x (but I'd like to migrate to the 2.10 series, so
we can do that on dev)

Apache 2.2.x (rolls all of the above together via ReverseProxy directives)

Mailman mailing list manager (if we could LDAP THAT too it would be
heaven but I doubt that's going to be workable).
