Hi

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

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.
