I don't think they are mutually exclusive, but I'd rather start off with
one machine. I would find it easiest if it were on something like
CentOS6.5.
When we have that running and reporting like we want it we can add a
FreeBSD server.
The idea is that these machines would be available for a long time,
ideally quite a few years. We want to have them with a stable time
series of performance data so that when something disturbs the
performance it sticks out like a sore thumb.
