If anyone wants to poke at a debathena-cluster machine, I'm running one
called cluster-test on XVM. I couldn't figure out how to make PXE work
with XVM for now, so I installed a Hardy machine and then installed the
debathena-cluster package.

debathena@ is on the ACL, so anyone getting this e-mail should be able
to access the console of the machine.

It's running the auto-updater, like any good cluster machine, and I've
also added debathena.mit.edu/apt-beta to its sources.list so we can use
it for testing updates. Unfortunately, I don't know a good way to
trigger the auto-updater outside of the login chroot, so I'm not sure
how to force it to take testing updates. Oh well. Two hours isn't too
long to wait, right? :)
