Conversation started with #Dell for the purchase of a new #HardenedBSD build server.

The biggest hurdle will be the requirement of at least 1TB RAM.

With our less-than-shoestring budget, I will likely announce an official call-for-donations over the next couple months.

@lattera @feld RAM really got expensive! Switches and servers are Ok, drives and memory are a nightmare. Is that much memory so you can do many parallel builds?

@thedarktangent @feld the RAM requirement is primarily for eventual Cross-DSO CFI support. Building 36,000+ packages with CFI consumes a freakton of RAM.
