That would be really cool - if "we" (i.e. you!) have resources to support it!

Not really - I've used build-farms before of course but never set one up, and I guess this is a bit different anyway... Do the build hosts run on VM's, or do we set up actual individual physical machines for each host type? I've some experience playing with Virtualbox and generally found it pretty good... At least for hosting Linux, WinXP, WinNT4 & ReactOS targets... Never tried to virtualise a Solaris target though, nor OSX though I'm told it is feasible... On the ubuntu front, though I've always been a big fan, I'm starting to swing back to Fedora or Debian more these days - ubuntu's use of Unity & the way they leave all sorts of "standard" stuff out of the base install irritates me... That said, I'll probably be upgrading my laptop to the 12.04 LTS Real Soon Now... So, anyway, in summary, sounds like a good idea, but I probably don't have anything constructive to say!
