Dual 233MHz EV4.
Apart from disk space that a rather small system. On a dual cpu one would like to run two buildds giving 128Mb ram to each. But c++ programms easily eat up 300-500MB during compile. Even with only one buildd the system would swap for bigger packages. Currently what I think would be far more usfull than another buildd (alpha has an empty build queue anyway atm) would be testing the debian-installer. From Tru64 I guess you have srm installed so the cds with aboot should boot and work. If you have the time please do test d-i. MfG Goswin
