I've considered this before, but haven't had time to set it up. In our
case it might be helpful to have as many "tinderboxen" as we can. Varying
hardware configurations would be nice. Also, some should be dedicated to
Gnome, some to KDE, etc.

If someone has time to get scripts together to do this and a HOWTO on
setting it up, I'll dedicate a few low end machines we have here for doing
this.
