As promised, I was able to request nodes from duffy, update them to distaf
config file and run the tests. Now I need to setup Jenkins job to trigger
the run and I am half way through it as well.

I will complete them at the earliest tomorrow.

I will complete the 2-3 issues that is still pending on me and then add a
HOWTO file. The issues itself will take a day or two to complete. And then
about a day for HOWTO.
