    Spare server for experiments

    What would you do if you had a spare server for a month or two?
    Okay, I know. Many of you have several servers. I only have one and will have access to another server for some time.
    Give me some suggestions of what I could do with the spare capacity.

            Thanks for the hint. I could actually experiment with that.
            Maybe try to set up a private tracker.

            Yeah, but in one or two months, I would loose all of them.

            That sounds as if it would cost me a lot of bandwidth. I still have to pay for overages.
