The idea is that a new Free Geek could order one of these boxes from our grants program and we would ship it, along with enough instructions to build a diskless lab, an imaging server for a build program, a database for gizmo and volunteer entry, etc. The box would come with a minimal instruction manual on paper that would get them up and running. Further documentation could live on the box if necessary. There would be links to a complete web documentation as well. | The idea is that a new Free Geek could order one of these boxes from our grants program and we would ship it, along with enough instructions to build a diskless lab, an imaging server for a build program, a database for gizmo and volunteer entry, etc. The box would come with a minimal instruction manual on paper that would get them up and running.

There is a lot involved in starting up a new Free Geek. One thing the mothership could do to make a new Free Geek start up more easily is to provide a computer pre-fitted with all the major images a new Free Geek might use, for instance:
- a mix of XEN and LTSP servers could hold
- Build
- Network installation using DebNetInstall
- image cloning (to make things quick if needed)
- HardDrive testing/wiping
- Hardware diagnosis (FGdiag)
- Squid, or Apt Repository
- Office Tasks
- Application Server
- Web and mail and mailing lists server
- A database server
- Admin of Systems and Security
- Router and Firewall
- nagios (system checkup)
- ssh gate

What else should go on such a box?
