Greetings!
I have a spare box and would like to make it available to the developers
of an application I use so they can test compatibility on Fedora 16.
So, I'm trying to figure out the best plan for setting up the box, my
LAN, etc.
I don't expect to leave the box turned on 24/7, I prefer ha

If you have data on that drive that you want to keep personal I would not

Excellent point, I should have been more clear about the nature of the
data. I'll probably delete anything "personal," or archive it
elsewhere.

Is it possible to set up a regular user account to have permission to

permissions?
Yes. See sudo(1), which you can set up to allow a user to run 'yum'
as root and nothing else.
This is one great reason to use virtual machines. They can have
pretty much 'full rein' on a VM, but you need to make sure you have it
set up 'right' (no real volumes, only virtual ones, etc).
Just a thought.

Aaahhh... excellent idea... I'll point that out to them and see if
that's a better option.
Thanks!

The more I think about this, the more embarrassed I am that I didn't
think of suggesting this route to begin with. Gaaahh. [facepalm]

Yep, VMs are the way to go. But, you need to figure out if you should
provide the hardware or just let them run it locally. Several people I
know use git (or other version control) to manage the source code, everyone
checks it out and runs it in a local VM (or VMs) and then checks in their
change
