Third Disadvantage:

Ibiblio is a red hat box and we don't have root. Summon is not exactly in
its element, or even available.

Obviously all the code we use to update our site will be made available
under the gpl via our cvs, just as soon as its installed (right now its
still partially ready)

This should serve two purposes - 1) It will hopefully allow better coders
than I to speed it up. 2) It will allow people to audit it and look for
security holes.. And /fix/ them.
