For the Jenkins slave infrastructure we have various Fedora slaves,
some CentOS 6.5 slaves, and other bits:

* We have a Jenkins NetBSD slave in Rackspace - manually created from an
  initial CentOS install - since Rackspace doesn't offer NetBSD.

* We also have a Jenkins FreeBSD slave in Rackspace.

* GlusterFS 3.6 will support OSX fuse clients natively, so we've been
  getting some OSX VM's set up to become Jenkins slaves. (still needs
  work)
