Yep, it's all that stuff, and pretty soon you spend all your time working on 
"the organization" instead of Linux.  As a battle scarred veteran of three 
non-profits, I urge you not to break what already works quite well.

Would all of you looking for bandwidth and a cheap colo, please email me 
OFF-LIST with your bandwidth requirements, I may be able to help, but I need 
to understand the bandwidth demands before I make any commitments.  Because 
this is a non OLUG business discussion,  it needs to be OFF-LIST.   


Thanks!
