  While I doubt I'll be porting over my currently [cpan.org] existing modules [cpan.org] anytime soon ;-), I see this as an incredibly good thing and congratulate you on bringing it about. Maybe TPF could take up the cue and try to set up something similar for other OSes out there (I for one would love to have an OS X and FreeBSD setup to test on).
  
  One question though, how will us *NIX-only folks access the servers? Will there be an ssh login? Possibly a cygwin install?

    Probably:

    There was some discussion about using VNC, but the server and hosting people reckon it uses much more bandwidth comparatively to RDP, and there are decent RDP clients for every platform.

    Cygwin! Cygwin! Cygwin! Cygwin! Cygwin! Cygwin! Cygwin! Cygwin! Cygwin! Cygwin! Cygwin! Cygwin!

    And the crowd goes wild!

    Seriously. I believe it is tested much less often than MSWin.

    If you need to test your code on FreeBSD or OS X, I keep a guest account on a couple of machines which I let CPAN authors use.

      That sounds great! I'll send you a private email about it.
