[Arm-dev] Getting started / Build machines

[Robert Moskowitz]

If I better understood the build process, I would spend the $100 for 
another Cubie if needed.  Going to have to get another one for the 
server anyway.  Thing is will the C2 with 1GB memory be enough, or the 
Ctruck with 2GB memory?  I have 2 production Intel servers that I would 
be interested in replacing.  First my DNS server, onlo.htt-consult.com.  
All it runs is DNS; I would like to get DNSSEC working at some point.  
z9n9z is my mial server.  I built a C6 replacement for it, but still 
have not rolled it out.  Minimally I would do a C7 build on the 
replacement hardware to check out all of the components before trying 
this on arm.

Finally my Win server is ClearOS.  Would be nice to bring that into the 
fold (at least ClearOS was closer to my target than AMAHI was). Oh and 
Medon is a test/web server.  So actually there are 4 systems I would 
like to move over to arm.  At that point, I would just order 5 systems 
direct and save a few bucks.  But I have to know it will work.  Yearend 
is OK target date.
