Fake mesh over IP.

I have a couple G1G1 coming my way.

I'm trying to figure what I need to support them and
a few sugars running on ubuntu boxes.

Both XOs will be here for a short while.

Then one will be going south to MX with my grandson and daughter.

I'll need at least a jabber server of my own.

Would it be better to install my own XS school server?

Would it be even better to have local servers at both sites?

I see lists for developers and educators.  Is there a list for
system/network admistrators?
