At one time (25 years ago) the Linux boxes were our personal machines and 
the build/test machines were RS6000/AIX boxes that we shared. The same 
code base built on both although some of the data had to be converted 
between big and little endian.

IBM priced themselves out of competition and our clients went to Windows. 
We use the MKS NutCracker environment on Windows so for the most part the 
code builds on Linux or Windows. The Linux boxes are still our personal 
machines, with shared Windows systems for build/testing.

The shared AIX resources sometimes had problems like a newbie programmer 
deleting what amounts to /usr/bin to free up disk space. Screw-ups on that 
level meant you bought the donuts. 

We had a homegrown thing called 'gosu' which was essentially sudo without 
the training wheels.
