Simon,

> I'm not familiar with OSL. Do you mean OSDL?

Open Source Lab, in Corvalis, Oregon.  They're funded by Oregon State 
University, and host quite a number of other open source projects, 
including Gentoo, some Apache projects, portions of Debian, etc.  
Unrelated to OSDL except through collaboration on specific projects.

Yep.   Mind you, I don't think that software exists for such scheduling, 
but if you want to write it I won't object to using it.  Warning, though; 
I claim the first month after racking to work on some PostgreSQL/Solaris 
bugs, and the server should run a permanent BuildFarm client.

Yes.

Four.  There's some limit on the donation, and since Sun doesn't 
manufacture their own disks, the machines are disk-light.
