We have a couple of Ultra 5s in the cluster but we haven't set them up yet; the belief is that the Ultras are too underpowered to be of too much help. (Mostly we have Netra T1s there, with some e4500s on loan remotely). If anyone wants to debug the kernel problem on the 4 unused T1 200s that would be more helpful :-) (the 105s work correctly; there is some kind of race condition on the 200s that mean you can boot them up if you breakpoint through the boot process.) However, that machine might be useful for someone as a ports tinderbox. (I had considered setting up one of the existing ones to do that, but there are other machines I have been working on which are higher priority.) mcl
