 Hi. We have recently been running a number of simulations of Freenet, to
 try to:
 a) Show that it can work.
 b) Show that NGR can work.
 c) Find out what HTLs will be required.
 d) Find out if different options (e.g. probabilistic caching, estimator
 smoothing) are beneficial.
 e) Give Freenet a more rigorous theoretical basis, etc.
 
 This requires significant CPU time. If you have a spare computer
 equivalent to at least a 1GHz P4, and you can give me a shell, that
 would be really useful... (this is by far easiest if you already run
 linux on it - just use ssh; you could use either cygwin or VNC to give 
 me a shell on a Windows machine, in theory...).

I can offer a 3 GHz Pentium 4 with 1 GB RAM BUT ONLY for a week. Is this
worthwhile? It is running Windows XP, so VNC is no problem. But I'm happy to 
install a GNU/Linux on it. I have Mandrake 10 to hand, and old copies of Red 
Hat could probably be dug up. Or I could install a Knoppix on to the hard 
drive. And then figure out how to set up ssh for you

I'll see if I can make a more permanent offer later. How long standing is this 
request?
