Doesn't look too terribly difficult to set up, but I don't have much in the way of hardware to offer. Is there any reason we can't use VMs for these build machines? I could probably setup the x86_64 platforms as VMs, if that works, and offer them as part of the buildbot network, unless these platforms need to be bare metal.
I run my EFS development environment exclusively on VMs, and the host OS is MacOS X on a MacMini. The actual platforms I run as VMs include both i386 and x86_64 versions of CentOS, Debian, Ubuntu and FreeBSD, all via VMWare Fusion. Is such an environment considered a reasonable platform for the buildbit network?
