1 Hello,

5 While they're not the most common hardware out there, the Broadcom Sibyte MIPS boards make great build servers. Two or four cores in the 700-1000MHz range, with typically 1G of DRAM. I'm seeing what I can do about freeing up some additional boards for the Gentoo project. Details will probably have to wait until I get back from vacation (Hawaii).
