Tru64, Caldera, Debian, # Redhat, Kondara, OpenVMS, Mandrake, SuSE, Turbo, NetBSD, FreeBSD, # Beowulf, iPAQ on Alpha, x86 and even ARM. # # If somebody's feeling ambicious, setup smoking across all the # machines. I'll try talking to the Testdrive admins, they may be nice # enough to install the necessary libraries across all machines. # (If someone could give me a list of the basic needs). # # # I've got an account (just ask, they give you one) for people to play # with.

That probably means you have to upload the parrot-latest tarball via FTP and then use Telnet to issue the commands (or at least the command to start smoking) for automated periodic smokes.
