I'm seriously thinking of making a few accounts on my home Irix machine
publicly available for various Free Software developers. I did that
sporadically in the past, but now i need a better infrastructure (put
the machine on a separate "branch" on my firewall, get a larger
hard-drive, etc.).
It's not only Irix which benefits from that, it's also the open source
applications. For example, PureFTPd was thorougly cleaned up in early
stages (around 1.0.0) using MIPSPro, the Irix native C compiler, which
is extremely pedantic about code errors, "syntax mud" and stuff like
that.

But i need some time to spare first. And, yeah, a bigger HDD.
