The new machines will be running a Gentoo 2007.0 install with a ppc64
userland. They should be fairly up to date with the toolchain, but it
should be pretty easy to bump specific things up if things are still not
working well.

I hope to put up a page on the website detailing more of the
applications/versions of what the machines will be having soon. I'll let
you know once I get those up!
