We can provide shell accounts on our buildslaves to anyone interested
in running nightly builds.  We currently have 4 of them:

 buildslave1.sugarlabs.org    Fedora 10 x86_64
 buildslave2.sugarlabs.org    Fedora rawhide x86_64
 buildslave3.sugarlabs.org    OFFLINE
 buildslave4.sugarlabs.org    Ubuntu 8.10

Please, avoid using your shell accounts on sunjammer for heavy-duty
jobs such as daily rebuilds.  If you must, at least run these things
with "nice -n 15 ionice -n 5 -c 3" to keep it from slowing down other
users too much.

Please also avoid using shell accounts on solarsail and trinity as
we're going to phase them out at some point.
