What's required to donate machines as autobuilders? We have a large number of Alpha machines here, some of which are running Debian rather than Tru64. We have lots of external bandwidth, and plenty of management Debian buy-in. I'm sure we could arrange to host an autobuilder here (and probably autobuilders for Opteron and IA64 as well) Tim -- Dr Tim Cutts Informatics Systems Group Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Hinxton, Cambridge, CB10 1SA, UK
