Ok. I heard more about what RCF is thinking to do after this run. They are thinking to use Fermi Linux, which is a build-from-source RedHat. For update, DOE got a deal with RedHat at $25 per machine. Now, the question is what to do with other machines (home or pii etc..). For pii, it might be better off with the Fermi Linux. For other institution, I don't know what you should do. If you want to use Fermi Linux, it is free. But, the security update may not be available in convenient form. You could buy (!!!) the educationally discounted Redhat with all free security updates. Or, you could go with Fedora if you want to have something close (but not exactly the same) to what RCF have with free $$$ and update. Or you can use whatever else out there (Debian, MacOSX (or M$win with cygwin if you prefere)). HiroReceived on Thu Dec 4 10:34:18 2003
