Hi,

do you know what the requirements are for such installation? There are
a lot of things pending in the sysadmin's agenda and we're going to
migrate several services to the newest machines so we can finally
shutdown the old machines. That said we don't have a lot of free
resources but we can try to find a deal if the service is really
needed by the community.

Owen, Olav, what do you think?

cheers,

Andrea
