It's not practical unless the machine runs 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. The release manager can currently click a button on a GUI and start the build on all the slaves when he wants to. That's just not going to be practical with your setup. There is a plan to use Virtual machines on Boxen as build slaves soon. Perhaps you could manage one of those running Fedora 14. That machine would then stay on 24/7.
