[LUGSB] VPS

[Richard Yao]

Is Professor Stark the network administrator? I thought that Brian
handled that. We would probably need to coordinate with whoever
distributes IP addresses to get a small allocation block for lugsb,
say w.y.x.z/28. Otherwise we would need to do hackish things with port
forwarding that would not be nearly as fun.

Anyway, I think it would be neat if we were to have a meeting on VPS
things and actually build virtual machines for "real" VPS hardware.
That would be after the meeting on emacs.

Yours truly,
Richard Yao
