I actually developed something like this for FreeBSD two years ago. = Included were build scripts for producing releases, a description of = setting up netbooting slaves, a small collection of benchmarks, a = database and a web interface. In lack of hardware and time on my part to = run the tests, it never got off the ground. Apart from an update to run = on SVN instead of CVS, it should be functional. If anyone's interested, please contact me. Thanks, Erik= --Apple-Mail-1335--732361135--
