OK, I'll start spruiking the word around the place then.

I can probably put together some power boards and extension leads, and a bit
of cat5, if that helps. What is needed in terms of hardware? I've got my HP
running F9 but it's more or less on the way out (I'd like to have my new
netbook by the 30th, so we could install $DISTRO, but it's a slim chance).
I've also got my eeepc running standard xandros (not sure if that's in any
way useful), and an IBM Thinkpad running RHEL5 (it is a Red Hat owned
machine though, so no hacking allowed!).
