Just wait some years until we all have dedicated lines and 'suitable' amounts of bandwidth :-) Then we'll bundle a virtual machine with the FreeBSD installations, and have a question in the installer (which will still be sysinstall-based ;-) "Do you want to dedicate spare CPU cycles to experiments in parallellism run by the FreeBSD project?" and you can run your massively parallel testbeds on _millions_ of machines - think about the graphics you can create with one PPro per pixel...
