Re: [gentoo-sparc] A machine for the project

[Jack Morgan]

Kevin,

Thank you for the offer to use your hardware. Unfortunately, I have
enough hardware for my needs. We have a larger need for people willing
to help out then hardware. Perhaps, you would be willing to make builds
via catalyst or do arch testing (AT). Let us know if you are able to
commit some time. thanks again.
