HPTestDrive
From Perl QA
HP is nice enough to offer testing accounts to people who ask for them. http://www.testdrive.hp.com/ If you want to run something on lots of different hardware and systems (including the tricky Alphas and OpenVMS) give it a shot. Current OS's available include HP-UX, Tru64, OpenVMS, Linux (Debian, Mandrake, RedHat, and Suse), FreeBSDm and NetBSD.
Just ask them for an account and they'll give you one. Be nice.
See the OpenVMS page for more info on running the recent snapshot that is installed on the DS10-L.
If you have any questions about the TestDrive program please go to;
http://www.testdrive.hp.com/faq
If you experience any problems logging onto your system, send mail to testdrive@hp.com. Include "Logon Problem" in the subject field, also make sure you include your username and the systems that are "acting up".
Current test drives can be seen at http://www.testdrive.hp.com/current.shtml
This may not longer be available, but I'll leave it here until someone can confirm one way or the other.
If you would like to have access to additional systems with Administrative/root access privileges please sign up as a Member of the Compaq Solutions Alliance Program. http://www.compaq.com/csa
