+
+Would like to have:
+* Production quality rather than pre-production hardware.  This can be

+== Requirements for ports ==
+
+Must have/be

+* At least one machine to act as a porter box.
+* Hosted in two different locations
+* The machine's architecture has an actively-maintained stable kernel

+* Packages critical for DSA operations be available: puppet, samhain,
+  syslog-ng, ferm/pf, etc.
