Could we rename this issue to something more specific, i.e., something
concrete which we can actually solve?

Oh, and I think it would be very cool to have virtual machines running
on the laptops we have! It might allow for some cool test environments
with virtual network breakdowns and whatnot...

For the Python installations themselves, you don't strictly need it:
one can have several Python installations running on the same machine
fairly easily (that is what I have done with my home machine to make
it run Python 2.4, 2.5, and 2.6).

Please also see Issue18 and Issue39 for requests for Windows and Mac
OS X buildslaves.

Currently, the BuildBot is only set up with linux slaves.

It would be nice to have an extensive test environment, e.g. including
build slaves running on WinXP, Vista, Mac, Linux with various versions
of Python, Twisted, etc.

It has been suggested to use the three laptops from the Danisco
auction as test "servers". These could each be set up to run multiple
VMWare images each.
