It's not practical unless the machine runs 24 hours per day, 7 days
per week. The release manager can currently click a button on a GUI
and start the build on all the slaves when he wants to. That's just
not going to be practical with your setup.
OK, that's too bad.
There is a plan to use Virtual machines on Boxen as build slaves soon.
Perhaps you could manage one of those running Fedora 14. That machine
would then stay on 24/7.
I'm not sure what that means, but I'm open to any way
that I might help (given that my meager abilities and time
available will allow it :-)
