Bog standard install with yum update handling it all. I figure only two
kernels are really needed. But having three around is no big deal. It's
original function was to test SL6 as a candidate for use on a replacement
something that had been around the block a few times too many. I made sure
it could handle the critical services properly. Then I made the switch. I
kept the virtual machines around for any experiments I wanted to try.

I did such a thing and discovered VBox running on Win7 64 is pretty poor
working with USB. I intend to figure out, RSN, if the USB service is
better when working with SL6-x64 is any better. I have an interest in
Software Defined Radios and the little $20 DVB-T dongles that work well
on the native machine don't work at all well on the virtual machine.
And neither configuration should be stressing the USB very much at all.

So I backed off the snapshot.
