   5 <p>Answering
   6 <a href="http://www.listware.net/201011/gnash-dev/67431-gnash-dev-buildbot-looking-for-slaves.html">the
   7 call from the Gnash project</a> for
   8 <a href="http://www.gnashdev.org:8010">buildbot</a> slaves to test the
   9 current source, I have set up a virtual KVM machine on the Debian
  10 Edu/Skolelinux virtualization host to test the git source on
  11 Debian/Squeeze.  I hope this can help the developers in getting new
  12 releases out more often.</p>

  14 <p>As the developers want less main-stream build platforms tested to,
  15 I have considered setting up a <a
  16 href="http://www.debian.org/ports/kfreebsd-gnu/">Debian/kfreebsd</a>
  17 machine as well.  I have also considered using the kfreebsd
  18 architecture in Debian as a file server in NUUG to get access to the 5
  19 TB zfs volume we currently use to store DV video.  Because of this, I
  20 finally got around to do a test installation of Debian/Squeeze with
  21 kfreebsd.  Installation went fairly smooth, thought I noticed some
  22 visual glitches in the cdebconf dialogs (black cursor left on the
  23 screen at random locations).  Have not gotten very far with the
  24 testing.  Noticed cfdisk did not work, but fdisk did so it was not a
  25 fatal problem.  Have to spend some more time on it to see if it is
  26 useful as a file server for NUUG.  Will try to find time to set up a
  27 gnash buildbot slave on the Debian Edu/Skolelinux this weekend.</p>
