I must admit that the list of powerpc build machines doesn't look that impressive, but it does seem to be keeping up just fine. I suspect the one machine I use at work as a powerpc build box has more processing power than the combined powerpc buildds, but it might be a close call. A 4.2GHz dual core power6+ IBM p520 is a handy build server. A tad pricy though. Maybe IBM could donate a p710 or p720 to Debian as a new build server. Just a small one. That would be nice. :) -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-powerpc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
