10.7 would be fine of a daily build.. you are going to have a hard
time building a 10.6 if you haev a 10.8 box :-)

to upload you will need to be set-up with a ssh key to gimli...
First it would be good to have it set up as a regular tinderbox,even
if it build once a day, with repporting to the tinderbox website
(email)
that way we can take a look at the settings and how well it behave for
a while...

To do gerrit build, one need to have a special user in gerrit created
and assigned to it..
typically the user is tb<id> where id is the tinderbox id assigned in
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Tinderbox

For this also, I'd rather see that box operate for a while as regular
tinderbox, so we can iron out the operational/setup kinks
