[Ubuntu Oregon] Ubuntu membership

It ran ubuntu-server, so the hardware probably isn't too unusual, just  
old. I wouldn't have a problem with someone  logging into it, as it would  
be dedicated to this project anyway. However, they'd have to outsmart my  
ISP. Since I moved out here a few years ago, I haven't been able to SSH  
into my own systems from outside.

Your Dell sounds like my current desktop: 32-bit only and works good for  
IRC. It's my best computer though (mostly because it has two VGA ports),  
so I try not to break it. :)
