I don't mind. Do we need a dedicated server at this point? In terms of new
content the site is dead. Even list traffic is pretty miniscule at this
point. I don't even know if anyone pulls from b.e.o anymore. We could
replace the site with static pages and no one would probably notice.

If we do migrate or reinstall, I'd suggest some different partitioning so
that we could run fsck on the user app data while the system is running.
For example, separate /, /home, /local, /boot, and maybe /root out.
