auric has been a buildd on and off. Apparently it's off again. From
what I understand the raid needs solaris to configure, it might be
better to switch to conventional disks with software raid since this
seems to be a reliability issue.
I've also offered a machine I have to run as a sparc buildd, hosting
and maintaining it myself.

With Microsoft, failure is not an option. It is a standard feature.
