[PD] Pd farm equipment has arrived

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

So I now have 10 of these machines to dedicate to various OS  
installed for automated Pd builds:

They are P-III 700s, mostly with 128 MB of RAM.  If anyone has any  
PC100 or PC133 RAM, 64MB, 128MB, or 256MB chips they want to donate  
to this cause, I will gladly accept donations.   You can just mail  
them to me.

I just installed Debian on two of them, one will be running stable  
and the other testing (or does it make more sense to run  
unstable?).   I will also install Windows 2000 on one, and perhaps  
WinXP.  I was thinking of installing Ubuntu and Fedora Core on two  
others since people expressed interest in working on them.  I also  
have two PowerMac G3s running nothing and a PowerMac G4 running  
10.3.9 to add to the mix.

If anyone is serious about maintaining Pd on any free OS, I will  
happily install that OS, provided its not time consuming.  Then I  
will give shell access too.  Ideally, each one of these machines will  
run an auto-build for that platform.

Its install-o-rama time... and my laptop is on the fritz, so I'll be  
working on that too.  I'll gladly accept donations of a MacBook,  
provided that you've ripped the Treacherous Computing hardware out of  
it ;).
