Free Geek in a Box

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:
- FreekBox
- An Application Server with a similar set of software to a FreekBox
- A database server using (FGdb)
- A hardware diagnosis server (FGdiag)
- Web and mail server
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.
What else should go on such a box?
