[debian-devel:13936] m68k machines for porters

Hi.

Last night, Tomohiro Kubota pointed me at the problem
described in "Debian Weekly News - February 21st, 2001"
 <http://www.debian.org/News/weekly/2001/6/>
i.e. the shortage of m68k autobuiders.

I translated and introduced that part of the article
(thanks to the author, Joey Hess!) on our users list
(debian-users@debian.or.jp), and now there are two offers.

One is Apple Macintosh Quadra 700, 68MB Memory + 1.0GB HDD,
68040-33 CPU + 32MHz/L2 cache, with 10base-T NIC adapter.

Another one is LC475 without LAN adapter. (I don't know
if we can find one, but perhaps it is possible).

Can we accept and use these as donation to Debian Project ?
And what is the best use of it ? How can we do with them ?

I myself do not have any experience on Debian/m68k, and
wish to have advices from the experts.  I don't even know
whether Debian/m68k runs on those machines well.

Yet I have not consult with other members in our JP Project
on this matter, but I hope if needed we can find sponsors
who provides the network bandwidth for those machines.

Please cc: to debian-devel@debian.or.jp list in reply/follow
to this mail, where many JP project members subscribe.

I hope this can help the situation a little. Thanks.
