I agree. I've started using aranym for debugging stuff and I'm pretty
happy with it overall. I'll have to think about a newer x86 box for
home. I wonder if joeyh's monster d-i box could spare time for a
security buildd? (xvfb works fine here.)

I'll turn that back on for zeus and poseidon. Last I checked, there
wasn't an oldstable db, I see it now. I wish we could get an etch-m68k
(or even stable) db too.

It looks like quickstep is a Quadra 650. The etch-m68k or sid 2.6
kernels should run fine. I've even got a console on my Centris 650 and
both my Quadra 950s! (I'm still excited.)

Can you get him to fix/check the one for washi too?
