400Mhz K6-2.  128MB of RAM.  2 IDE hard drives, one that's, uhm, 12GB or so,
I think, the other is 30GB.  12GB holds the OS, logs, etc.  30GB just has
the website and the mirror.nblug.org stuff.

If we had more space I'd probably want to expand the Kernel.org mirror,
expand the RedHat mirrors, add in some GNOME stuff (probably just a full
Ximian mirror) and add in a Debian mirror.  Whole new box is probably
overkill; we'd be better off with upgrading the current box with SCSI, more
drives and maybe more RAM; it's not like we're using much CPU yet...
