[cAos-devel] My recent spate of commits

[Tim Leger]

Hey All,

    Same here, I started with cAos 2 (used it to setup a 96 node 
cluster) end of last year.  Due to some newer hardware (chipset) that 
showed up which cAos 2 wasn't able to handle, I tried out cAos 3 and was 
impressed with it's installation and bootup speed.  Speaking of which 
and out of curiosity, is there a newer installation/cinch version of 
cAos 2 planned for the foreseeable future or is everything going to cAos 
3?  The lack of some libraries with cAos 3 has really slowed me down in 
setting things up the way I need them on this new hardware.  I've been 
documenting my progress with cAos 3 and contributing to the wiki with 
items I feel confident with like swatch and iptables.  Currently, I'm 
very busy with adjunct teaching and my own research, but hopefully I'll 
be able to contribute much more to the wiki and cAos development effort 
once the end of the quarter gets here the middle of next month.  I've 
been using and administering Linux setups for the past 5+ years, but 
finding the time to track down the plethora of dependencies some 
applications take can be hard to do :) .

Later, Tim Leger
