I was hoping to have something in the middle cause I have no budget. I'm
going to use this server to host my own test virtual guests. Basically to
build and test packages on different flavours of Linux..
I'm a bit stubborn, so I guess next step for me is to try to build these
newer packages for EL6 and the missing ones a swell unless anyone has a
better idea..
