You do of course realise that these are the specs of the machine where you
will have an account created shortly *smile*. I will remove the SSH firewall

decent uptime. *smirk*

Sometimes it pays off (time-wise) to re-build everything from scratch. There
are too many misunderstood issues with migration of binaries, albeit they
can take time to re-surface.
