I'm currently talking to my boss about having a few build machines. We already have mirrors.usc.edu to distro the distro. I need a distro with 18 to 24 months of packaged updates, performance optimizations for i686/x86_64/itanium/ppc, 1000+ machines, and has certified compatibility with a few 3rd party software packages. I don't need support from RH, annual upgrades, unfeasibly licensing. I figure using fedora is fine for x86. We just need to build it for the other arches and maintain the errata rpms. I've presented this to my boss as $700,000 to RH, or a few months of my time to do my own builds. -- Garrick Staples, Linux/HPCC Administrator University of Southern California -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
