Currently I have access to a G4 Digital Audio with 533Mhz. Not the 
fastest Mac and it will surely take 18h+ for building but that's 
OK. 

The more crucial point is I like to have some fink/macports 
packages eg. ccache and building this stuff takes it's time too on 
this Mac and most of the time I can build only one of those 
packages over the night/WE. So it takes it's time till the build 
environment ist set up. 

So the speed isn't that important, more important is to have 
constant access or that those machines can build as long as it 
takes because nobody "needs" to work with them on a regular or even 
daily base. 

Still there are more interested people out there willing to help us 
with their PowerPC Macs in testing or allowing us to use them for 
building purpose.

Eric Hoch
