Keeping in mind that I am new to this arena...
I have some Intel systems - both 64-bit and 32-bit - that I might be able to use as build platforms.
What does the Debian team need from me to be able to use these systems?
I can't guarantee they'll be FAST, but I'll do what I can to make them EFFECTIVE.
