Hey Colin,
That sounds like a lot of fun so, with a little caveat/slack for the
unexpected (I've kids and a spouse who's a midwife :-) sign me up too!
The talk so far has been on  soft side of "How" but, I've got to ask what
about the "Where" ? Do you have a place lined up with all the table-space,
outlets and whatnot let alone the Ethernet hubs/switch and wire?
We can probably stone-soup a lot of it but I think it's worth trying to put
together a list.
Also, I'm not saying it's the right tool for this but has anyone worked with
cfengine?
