Scientific Linux 4.4
Our automated (PXElinux + KickStart + CFengine) "SL44-64" installs are working pretty nicely now.
Scientific Linux 4.3
In recent days I set up our automated PXE/KickStart install and automated CFengine configuration systems so they'll do SL4.3 installs.
Yum Yum Yum
The advent of Scientific Linux x86_64 worker nodes (with Opteron CPUs) here at UW-HEP caused the need for a fair number of i386 shared library RPMs. That was the straw that broken the camel's back with respect to package management, so I finally set up a number of yum repositories to automate the installation of RPMs. It was a dirty complex job, but, like a lot of systems admistration work, it'll pay off big time in the long run.
VMS Manuals
We tried to give away a full set of VMS manuals recently through the campus IT mailing list. There were no takers.
Solaris9
Yep--that's right. Good old Solaris7 is on it's way out. So far the transition has been very smooth.
Scientific Linux 3.0.4
Almost all the computers at UW-HEP have been recently converted to Scientific Linux 3.0.4.
Scientific Linux 3.0.3
I've been working on a automated system for installing the next generation OS on UW-HEP AFS cluster systems. We'll be running Scientific Linux 3--which is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 recompiled by some folks at FNAL and CERN.
