The snowy vm was built as Fedora 12 because we wanted it to match
RHEL6 as close as possible. We want the "stable" tomboy online public
release to be on RHEL6. It is already virtualized so this would be a
decent start.

label really isn't the best place for wiki and it seems like the first
that should move. Are / were you still working on this? I know ray was
helping do it. Do you think you could build a RHEL6 wiki vm and then
that could be moved?

dns master and ldap master should not be virtualized. Everything else
other than nfs is fair game imo.
