Hello again, I was contacted off list by a developer that wishes get access to an operon box for Debian package development. I would like to clear up my position a bit. I appreciate the donation, but I do not have the time to administer these boxes. I am not sure how machine donations are handled in Debian so I posted the offer on this list. If anyone wants to take point on this, I will lend a hand in setting up the system with the amd64 toolchain. Cheers, Bart. * Bart Trojanowski <bart@jukie.net> [030714 19:21]: > [ forwarding on behalf of Nicolas ] > > Nicolas, thank you for passing this along.
