thanks a lot for your kind offer, and we're definitely interested. Setting up a Buildbot slave isn't that complicated and you can 
find instructions describing the basic steps in our Wiki at

   https://bitbucket.org/scons/scons/wiki/InstallingBuildbotSlaves

Administering it yourself shouldn't be too hard, it's running automatically after the basic setup.

You also need a login and password, such that your slave can connect to the server machine and register itself as being available. 
Bill Deegan is maintaining the server and can provide you with the credentials, I guess. He has probably also some ideas about which 
distro to use...

Best regards,

Dirk
