Canonical builds a 42-core ARM cluster server box for Ubuntu

“As with anything to do with Ubuntu, it’s up to the enthusiastic
individual to come up with and implement the solution to a problem.
David Mandalla of Canonical was tasked with creating an automated
Ubuntu ARM build machine, and the resulting solution definitely

place. Mandalla therefore decided on a custom build using
PandaBoards.”
