piuparts mostly does IO, so the fastest single core cpu is what we need for a 
slave. (master is a webserver static files, most of the time. or also doing iO 
mostly.)

ram wise, the more the better, so we can do installations fully in a ramdisk 
(except for those rare cases which need a chroot > 2gb)

back in the days when we set up piatti initially, weasel didnt like to install 
from packages, thats how we got here.

packages from unstable I could live with. official backports rather not so. 
and I guess I could also live with backports prepared for stable-backports, 
but just not uploaded as they havent migrated to testing yet.

(we are only talking about the piuparts source package here. no other 
packages.)

sounds good :-)
