Yes, and the right way to get them in sync is for squeakci.org to have
(and keep) the right time, through ntp. That lets us not go crazy when
debugging things between slave and master.

I'm experimenting with having machines run headless slaves so that the
community at large can, say, test builds on Windows machines, OS X
machines, and so on.

So as a minimal test, I'm trying out my FreeBSD because (a) I have it
running and (b) FreeBSD doesn't get as much love as it should.
