FWIW, I have an older box running Ubuntu 05.10 that spends most of it's days pining for stuff to do (at the moment, it does DHCP and DNS for the house. Yes, I know I have too many damn computers here). I can set up a buildbot on it easily enough. It's something like a 600MHz P3 or something. Is it going to be useful to have this in the mix?

With the gentoo installation, I think we have "enough" linux for the moment. Somebody noticed that the Waterfall view of buildbot quickly becomes unreadable if there are too many builds.

Heck, there's a pile of 500MHz P3s sitting here that I could drop a random free unix onto if someone wants to nominate something that's

a) useful b) not a total pain in the clacker to install.

For a), I think one of the BSDs might be useful. Whether they qualify for b), I don't know.
