Thanks to everyone who helped during this cycle.

Important note is that I plan to deprecate eeepc and Ubuntu 10.10 (reached "end of life") builds in the next cycle.  Additionally I plan to update these builds to the latest versions of their distributions: Sabayon, PcLinuxOS, Slackware, Mandriva, Arch.
If anyone needs to use those older versions, let me know before doing the change.

PS. Few remaining builds (Open Suse) will be online by the end of the day.
