Hello Michael
 Will do, it will take about 3 weeks before it is setup since I am
off on vacation soon and I have promised my wife a vacation without
any computers :) not sure what distro to go for do, if you guys have
anything power based distros that you would like to test it with then
just let me know, I know that OpenSuSE, Debian, Gentoo, and Fedora
Core installs like a charmer on the latest power systems which the
i550 is so perhaps one of these.

 Per,
 The build farm hosts just install a small set of scripts
 that periodically download latest samba sources,
 run configure, make and make test and transmit a status
 report back to build.samba.org. 
 "make test" includes many simulations of connections to
 samba services, authentication, retrieval of user information
 and so on.
 Just see http://build.samba.org/ for result listings and for 
 instructions on how to add machines.
 Cheers - Michael
