Hi all

[TRS] has arranged for the provision of an Apple Xserve, which is now 
installed in the machine room as gothamburg.ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au. [JCF] has 
upgraded it to Mac OS X 10.10.

% system_profiler SPHardwareDataType
      Model Name: Xserve
      Model Identifier: Xserve3,1
      Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
      Processor Speed: 2.26 GHz
      Number of Processors: 1
      Total Number of Cores: 4
      Memory: 12 GB

LDAP & NFS are enabled and you can SSH to it. It does have Apple Remote 
Desktop installed, but apparently the multi-user access stuff requires OS 
X clients (standard VNC certainly doesn't work at the moment).

Xcode and Homebrew are installed, with the usual caveats on multi-user 
Homebrew - in particular, you need to set `umask 0022` or similar before 
running `brew`.
