Is this kind of like Mozilla's TinderBox?

I still need to have a look at the documentation, but it would be very 
interesting to have this kind of thing setup for Mono.

I will be moving to my own appartement during Christmas and I have a 
'spare' machine I want to put debian on, so it might be possible to see 
if I can get it working (not sure if Draco.NET runs under mono yet).

If we have several machines (both windows & linux) it would be nice to 
have central 'site' that contains a summary of build status (something 
like http://tinderbox.mozilla.org/showbuilds.cgi?tree=SeaMonkey ). Any 
ideas?
