I spun up a vm and we are currently experimenting with it.  So, far it's
gone well.  We have a lot of bandwidth and more than enough server.
It should be interesting to see how it goes, as we have a lot of users with
different skill levels and about every environment you can think of.   I
should have a pretty good handle on it in a month or so.

And before you ask... no it's not running on RedHat.  <g>
