RULE Tinderbox clients for the kernel
PREMISE: I am sending this to the RULE mailing list too (bcc so no bounces arrive to kernel users unsubscribed there). Any kernel guy interested in this is very welcome to subscribe temporarily also to the low volume RULE mailing list. TIA

We (OSDL + others) are working on a continuous build/test system, using the Mozilla tinderbox. Should be available RSN. Tinderbox supports multiple clients, and we'll have a client package available for download.
Marco, if you could supply time on a small client box, and a desired .config, we can add you as a Tinderbox client, then you have a place to point people when the size increases.
I am forwarding this excellent idea to the RULE list. I hope that someone there has the bandwidth and spare hardware to do it. Thanks a thousand.

Either way, please send me your desired .config - i can and should build a size test into the tinderclient code.
Er.... this is the sad note. I am pretty good in userland, but much more ignorant here. What I can tell is which kind of boxes would be used and how, but translating that to the proper .config requires the help of you gurus. We will gratefully test whatever you ask and report, within our bandwidth and CPU power limits, but this is why I sent my original message to the LKML.
We need to use boxes with i386 or greater, 16+ MB RAM, disk space from 3/400 MB upwards in basically two ways (depending from the end user needs and the actual hw available)
low load servers for modern printing (cups) firewall (iptables) email, web
desktop with kdrive and functional, yet not bloated applications for school and soho use worldwide. This means, feature wise:
digital signature with GPG
email, spreadsheet, word processing (abiword, gnumeric) web browsing (flash? maybe, not essential)
non ASCII alphabets
something else which I will certainly remember one picosecond after hitting the send button...

Okay, i will try a few samples and send the result direct to you. cliffw
