William, You are probably not aware of it, but Fedora 14 was released yesterday! The buildbot uses eno, flavius, lena, sextus and taurus, which are all running 64-bit Fedora 13. So I don't think we need another 64-bit Fedora 13 machine. It seems to me, looking at 1) README.txt, which lists our claimed "supported" sysstems (Debian, Ubuntu, CentOS (=Red Hat) Fedora, openSUSE, Mandriva, Arch) 2) http://wiki.sagemath.org/SupportedPlatforms#Linux - which lists what we test the most needed distributions are probably * Arch - since we don't have any * CentOS (which you intend adding) * Debian (which you intend adding) * openSUSE (since our version is old) * Mandriva - since we don't have any. Looking at http://distrowatch.com/stats.php?section=popularity the various distributions in order of popularity are: 1) Ubunta 2) Fedora 3) Mint (based on Debian and Ubunta) 4) openSUSE 5) Debian 6) Sabayon (based on Gentoo) 7) Arch 8) Puppy 9) PCLinuxOS 10) Lubuntu (based on Debian and Ubunta) 11) Mandriva 12) Ultimate (based on Debian and Ubunta) 13) Slackware 14) CentOS 15) Tiny Core Dave -- To post to this group, send an email to sage-devel@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send an email to sage-devel+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel URL: http://www.sagemath.org
