yes, that is fine.
we do get problems when the openoffice and glibc maintainers
start building on the same machine, even if it has lots (i think
we had 6G in oslo) of ram. so a lot of ram would be nice. two
machines would help, too.
to have both opteron and xeon might be good, eventhough x86 is
still the dominant architecture. a modest raid in each would be
nice, too.
is this what you were hoping to hear?
