New server migration

[Fairlight]

My previous comments about XFS were for 32-bit binaries.  The bit depth is
important, as even 6.0.0 comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit.  If you're
running 64-bit, you can use inode64 on any filesystem size, and it
shouldn't cause issues.

If you're running 64-bit binaries, compat-libtermcap may still be an issue
(probably is).  I'd have to revisit that directly to confirm or deny.  I
remember that the i686 architecture build target did not exist in the
spec file I got from the official SRPM, but that's only necessary if you
run 32-bit binaries.  The package itself likely still needs to be built
properly, so you're not relying on what I remember as being the default
broken configuration.
