[ANN] 'test' server

As our experiences with Hetzner hardware are mixed (we have had two
boxes with problems so far - they supply good service but it results
in downtime nevertheless), I decided to get a second box for myself,
mainly to backup my first box and to serve as a fail-over in case it's
necessary.

However, what to do with that AMD Sempron64 3000+, the 1G RAM and the
500G bandwidth allocation in the meantime?

I'm already hosting a couple of test images, and I decided to widen
the scope a bit - if you have a hack or something that needs to be
tested or just on a web server for a demo, ping me and I'll see
whether I'll host it. The general conditions are: you get 5 open ports
to use and an ssh login, if I notice your image chewing 100% CPU I'll
kill it, and there's no availability guarantee :)

Also, it'll be - if I can one or two people to help me here - the test
area for a fully automated Squeak production system. The idea is to
build and test an image every night from
source.squeakfoundation.org/inbox and have a tinderbox-like report as
a result...

Oh, and as I'm writing this box2 is dumping its guts on that disk -
it'll take over from a temporary box I used as backup server for box2.

Regards,

Cees
