So far I haven't been able to find anything broken, and dns was switched 
over when I sent the email already.  Here's hoping! Meander will 
probably go down some time early next week, unless something pops up.  
Once meander is shipped, it will be switched from 4x 1TB drives to 3TB 
drives, raid battery replaced, and then racked up there.  This also 
means switching from 2x 100mbit to gigabit network, which will be nice.

As for OS, since all the drives are being replaced it will likely get a 
ubuntu 12 lts install on it and we can either keep, upgrade or use as a 
base system for CLFS.  In any case, the cloud instance gives us time to 
setup the system as we want and migrate over as we wish.  As I have no 
idea how the git / gitweb stuff is setup, having some extra time is 
good.  :)

I'll let you guys know when meander is back up in the new datacenter.  
The cloud instance has less memory (8 vs 32) and cpus (4 vs 8) but I'll 
try to bump it up some more if it has any slowness or trouble.
