I will check the specs on my machines and get back to you soon. We have several surplus g4 and g5 towers here. IOhannes has a lot more knowledge and experience than I do so if he wants to do it then I am happy to turn it over to him- whatever is the best to keep the builds going. <br>

</div>Greg Pond has also offered a machine. Either works for me. A 10.4 machine would be nice so we can support 10.4 too. Basically, it just needs 10.4 and Xcode with all the updates, then Fink and JackOSX. That's it. If I have ssh root access, I can do the setup remotely.<br>
