BuildFarm: Do we need another FreeBSD/amd64 member?

Greetings,
I've got a fast FreeBSD/amd64 server available to run Buildfarm on.

However, I see we already have a couple of others running it.

My questions are:
1) do we need another one?
2) if yes, what options need coverage?

Thanks,
LER

Looks like we're fairly well covered on freebsd already. Are you
willing to consider running some less-popular OS on it?

Not particularly, as I want it to do other things. However, I might be
willing
To get VMWare running on it, and run something else in a VM.

What were you thinking?

[ shrug... ] Anything you don't see paired with amd64 on the buildfarm
roster is OK by me ...

Out of curiosity, is there any benefit to improving SMP versus
single-proc coverage?

FreeBSD 6.2 was just released. I don't see any coverage for it yet.
