Hey! don't over sell it, someone will start making plans for it ;-)

Well, we could run the mailing list on it, that'll give it a good workout :P

Could use it as a repository/mirror etc for some distro's but then someone 
would have to pay for the bandwidth.

I could point out that it is a bit better utilised than just running the 
WellyLUG webserver (that just runs as a Xen instance) ... but then it has 
to pay for it's board and lodgings (and power consumption) by making itself 
useful :-)

But seriously, if there are other services it can perform for WellyLUG (or 
even other Linux/Open Source projects), then there is indeed capacity to spare.
