When you Guides have a system setup and are looking for volunteers for 
such. I am willing to volunteer for such.

At my disposal I have:
Debian Linux unstable (Athlon 700mhz)(my personal machine)
Mac 8.6 on an iMac
WinXP at work (2ghz Athlon XP)

Due to locations home and work. The test would be run at different 
times. But uploaded at earliest opportunity.

Let me know. :)
