[openbeos] Re: build factory - donations

There's a forum thread about the build factory here:

Sikosis's latest post:

Update: I'm on holidays at the moment and I've just built up a P3 800 with 
512mb of RAM and 40GB HD split as two BFS partitions 20GB (BeOS) and 20GB 
(Haiku).

I'm just going away for a few days so I haven't linked it, plus I changed web 
host last week so I need to update the ftp details, etc ... It's happen folks, 
sorry if albeit a tad slow.

So the build factory should be up and running shortly.

There may well be other worthy targets for your offers though.
