Ah, double checking it appears either way we need both hosts up to
completely move osgeo2 unless we want to shuffle multiple virtual
machines after a few weeks. So it sounds like starting up both machines
with the current Ganeti would better suit our needs, so I will modify
the request to OSL.

To make sure I've distilled everyone's suggestions correctly-

Current Summary:
Machines are osgeo3 and osgeo4
Virtual Machines will be named by primary DNS and or service.
Defaults - Debian Stable 64 bit, 10GB HD, 4GB ram, 1 cpu

Estimated Virtual Machines by final physical host:
osgeo3 - tracsvn, web, secure
osgeo4 - lists, download1,backup,qgis,grass,projects
unplaced - webextra(Planet, Geodictionary, etc)

Order of Install
secure, wiki, anything else that's currently on osgeo2, TBD

Please feel free to adjust and comment:

Thanks,
