You don't need anything to get there, the testdrive doesn't have any ties
with the Debian project (other than providing a number of debian boxes,
that is). Anyone can get an account there, with the only cost being
providing HP with your personal data.
They provide Debian machines running:
* i386 (woody)
* ia64 (woody)
* alpha (woody)
* hppa (woody)
* arm (slink (?!?), doesn't seem to work at this moment)
Another option is to use the compile farm at SourceForge. This is a bit
more tricky, as you would have to be registered as a participant of one of
project hosted there, but that is not a big problem.
At this moment, lots of the boxes at the compile farm are down, but these
of Debian boxes which are up right now are:
* i386 (potato)
* alpha (woody)
* sparc (woody)
* arm (woody)
The other Debian boxes there IIRC include ia64, powerpc and mipsel.
Hope that helps,
