Yes. Especially if it has good amounts of memory (1GByte is probably minimum).

You need to install and setup the Buildbot client. There is some documentation
for how to do this here:
http://kb.askmonty.org/v/buildbot-setup
The full Buildbot manual (with tons of detail) is here:
http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/0.7.12/index.html
Send me some details of the machine and operating systems, and I will supply
you with login credentials for the client against the Buildbot server.

Yes.

Then the active build will fail, with a message that the client disconnected
in the middle of the build. It is not a disaster, but it is annoying if it
happens frequently. (Our Buildbot does not yet have the ability to
automatically retry builds that fail in this way).
