I'm not 100% sure of their workload, there's some Java/Tomcat/Jakarta,
Postgres and Apache. I imagine it'll be app/db on the larger box and
the 2 smaller systems being app/webservers. I need to verify this.
Given the Java part of the equation their memory requirements are
bound to go up. :)

For all the Java cruft required I was planning on sticking with
packaged installs from Jpackage so I should probably check what they
have available.
