Update

Joe and I met over the holiday break and drafted up a more detailed plan of attack. We'll get this posted somewhere.
I've been shuffling hardware around so I can get
to where I have some place to develop. Ultimately, I'd like to get a fileserver set up with some raid5 storage for my own sanity's sake.
As soon as I catch up with some of my classes, I should have some time to continue working on the base system, which is pretty much the first thing on the plan we drafted.
