My opinions/thoughts on Lola Granola:
We should have enough disk space for multiple OS's, right? Give the
lion's share of the space to a (set of) NetBSD partitions, leaving space
to install a reasonable linux system as well. [I believe NetBSD uses the
BSD-style partition tables, which means basically you can give it one
DOS-style partition to slice up into its space, and leave the other
DOS-style partitions for other OS's.]
I assume there will be some interest from the MIT community (mostly
ResNet) for running a BSD-flavor system like NetBSD. A bunch of SIPB
members have experience with BSD-type systems; we should capitalize on
their interest and experience so we, as an organization, can serve
MIT NetBSD users in the same way we're serving MIT linux users.
