Tom/all, I have setup the following running debian linux. MIPS, MIPSEL, ALPHA, PARISC, M68K, ARM, SPARC, I386. I have the build farm running local and I have just started to get the systems registered. I am also willing to aquire other hardware/ operating systems in an effort to give something back to the Postgresql community
