Hi I am using Cruise on my current for-pay project, so I thought I would answer your question about the agents. Answer inline...

What exactly a agent is doing in > Cruise? An Agent in Cruise is what actually runs a build. Currently, only one Agent can be installed on each computer. Then, an Agent talks to the Cruise Server to find out if there is any work for it to do. Being limited to 2 Agents means you can have 2 builds running at the same time on 2 different computers. Those computers could both be running Windows, or one could be a Windows machine while the other is running Linux, for example. Bamboo and TeamCity have a similar concept of Agents. I would like to introduce the concept to CruiseControl.Net as well, but it would be a major change of the code. Dave Cameron CruiseControl.NET - http://ccnet.thoughtworks.com
