After building a reliable( and free) bunch of regression test machines with Ubuntu and Firewatir I had to look at a way of collating reports from each. I was already using ci_reporter for single instances and I like the XML output. I had a windows machine nearby that was running a Ruby on Rails reporting page, so I set up an automatically mounted(on boot) samba share that had each Ubuntu box with a device called xmlreports that looked right at a share on the webserver.
cd media
sudo mkdir xmlreports
in etc/enviroment i added CI_REPORTS=/media/xmlreports
sudo apt-get install smbfs
in etc/fstab I added //10.11.10.55/C/dash/public/reports /media/xmlreports smbfs
