I see Charles has a PC available _and_ is in Houston, so...

It's been suggested that FreeBSD would be better for us
than Linux.  Either is OK by me, but I'll take the FreeBSD
side of the argument unless someone really persuades me otherwise.

To get things up and running fast, I'd suggest the machine be
put in place with nothing much more than the OS, secure shell
and outgoing ftp.

I'd rather have our own server than the free lists.  They are
supported by advertising.  It may be unobtrusive now...
