CERN is using Scientific Linux on their programs, which is Red Hat plus some scientific libraries. I am seeing them run in the BOINC_VM window at Test4Theory@home and it seems very stable, also using very little RAM (256 MB), while my Solaris Virtual Machine needs 1.5 GB RAM just to run SETI@home. ...but Scientific Linux CERN is very conservatively out-of-date. Nearly all CERN machines are still running SLC5 which is kernel 2.6.18-274, so I have to run that on our user machines too. I have one machine running on SLC6 which is 2.6.32-220. |

I love these details about the server upgrades. Keep us updated. :-) Thanks! (5 out of 24 drives is a LOT, I feel your pain there... I'd have expected 2 duds maximum out of that number, and maybe a third within 6 months) -Dave |

Thanks for the update, but... That's Ubuntu's main problem too. Debian itself is stable as stable can be, but it lacks the newest hardware support. So ubuntu uses s.i.d. and testing software which IMO pushes buggy stuff out to the end user. (For my servers) I like ubuntu (server), but I always start with a minimal install and add packages I need only when really needed. As far as what distro they should use, I'm not qualified to put an opinion on that out there. I am a debian, where as most businesses/organizations are redhats (or CENTOS) -Dave |
