Here. I was thinking Skip's idea would be bad since I'll be listed
for a bunch of platforms. :-)
RedHat 6.2 isn't in the snake farm. Right now, things are in pretty
good shape on the snake farm builds (I watch them on a regular basis).
Unfortunately, some of the problems deal with minor OS variations
(like a specific patching being applied or not), so even having the
"same" version of th OS isn't always enough.
I have access to the following systems:
RedHat: 8, 9
Solaris: 8
AIX: 4.2.1.0, 4.3.1.0, 4.3.3.0
HPUX: 11.00 A
IRIX: 6.5
DecUNIX, OSF/1, Tru64: 5.0, 5.1
There's also the SF compile farm which has Linux 2.2, Max OSX 10.2,
and Solaris 8.
Free testdrive accounts can be setup for various configurations.
For example, see http://testdrive.hp.com I've heard there are
other accounts offered, but don't know any links.
