Thread: BuildFarm: Do we need another FreeBSD/amd64 member?
Greetings, I've got a fast FreeBSD/amd64 server available to run Buildfarm on. However, I see we already have a couple of others running it. My questions are: 1) do we need another one? 2) if yes, what options need coverage? Thanks, LER -- Larry Rosenman Database Support Engineer PERVASIVE SOFTWARE.

Looks like we're fairly well covered on freebsd already. Are you
willing to consider running some less-popular OS on it?

However, I might be willing To get VMWare running on it, and run something else in a VM. What were you thinking?

[ shrug... ] Anything you don't see paired with amd64 on the buildfarm
roster is OK by me ...
