[DC LoCo] Cleveland Park (now Chevy Chase too?) update

[Mackenzie Morgan]

Well I'm working on getting a job right now, so I'm not sure about schedules
just yet, but in the evenings I could probably help with installing on the
old boxes.  I'd like to try doing Fluxbuntu on some, but I don't think it's
done yet (no automounting on flash drives? not ok for normal people).  I
don't know how Xubuntu compares to Ubuntu base + Fluxbox in terms of
resource usage.
