Oh good :-).

As I say, Debian wheezy i386 on the two main servers.  We are going to
run Xen on them so it would be a good idea to install the Debian Xen
packages.

I think Debian wheezy amd64 would be the right OS for the other
servers.

Right.  Your proposal to bench-test the test machines by running up a
test install is probably sensible.

The alternative would probably be to wait until we had enough of
osstest running that we could use it to do autoinstalls but that would
probably take too long.

Yes, indeed.

We should have a conversation about how things should be plumbed
together (network, serial, VMs, etc.)  Should I write up a plan ?

thanks,
Ian.
