Linaro Jenkins build system newbie

Hi,

I am wondering do/can I run Jenkins on a local machine for a single platform or do I submit a .yaml build script. If I can run it locally then can I run it on Debain rather than Ubuntu ?

Its still early days yet with what I am working on but think I might have the script near enough sussed. The uptodate kernel sources for the cm-fx6 platform are on Utilite's GitHub repo.

Is there a getting started guide or HOWTO for Jenkins please.

Many thanks in advance,

Aaron
