At the time this machine was purchased, buildbot wasn't even a topic in 
RTEMS.

Them, rtbf64c was the machine I used to build the tools, while you ran

This is the only machine with decent enough power.

And why don't you install buildbot there?

And why can't you install buildbot on Fedora?

Fedora supplies the tools I am using to build the toolchains. All other 
OSes are either too outdated, or do not supply the tools.
