[cfarm-users] New OS requirements on the farm?

[Daniel Widdis]

I second the request for Alpine on baremetal.  Latest version OK.

Arch Linux would be a good addition we don't have.

A physical FreeBSD server (existing one is a VM) would be helpful.

I just do periodic ad-hoc testing of Java code.

    Maybe Alpine and openSUSE Leap?. The server with openSUSE is an ARM and
    the Alpine server is a VM. Alpine is the only "popular" distro which
    uses the musl libc.

    I only uses the servers for lightweight testing from time to time.
