Hi Benjamin,

I suggest playing nethack. ^^
Seriously, I think building various targets on it would be very useful, 
especially if you could upload the binaries and log files somewhere.
Crystal and Generic targets are a good choice. Building them and starting some 
programs on the build hardware will reveal obvious problems. Bootdisk, LiveCD 
and LVP have boot specific code which we'd have to test-run on a separate 
machine. 
The bad (old) news is that building targets with ROCK Linux requires root 
privileges, while the account is non-root (see the first mail) ... until we 
have a solution to this problem, there's not much you can do on it 
ROCK-wise. :(

Cheers,
