Hello all, |
2 |
|
3 |
As some of you may already know, I am working on a clustering |
4 |
livedvd. Although a livecvd is flashy and all, my efforts are geared |
5 |
towards making ebuilds and meta-ebuilds that ease setting up a freshly |
6 |
installed stage3 system into a Master Beowulf server with |
7 |
PXE+tftp+NFSroot booted nodes. My progressing work is available on the |
8 |
unofficial Gentoo overlay server (http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/ |
9 |
, direct link being: |
10 |
http://git.overlays.gentoo.org/gitweb/?p=proj/clustering-livecd.git;a=summary). |
11 |
Everything needed to create the livedvd as well as the NFSroot images |
12 |
(notably catalyst specs and custom ebuilds) is available there. I also |
13 |
make the resulting/progressing work available in my personal web server |
14 |
http://wiki.neuralbs.com/~kyron/soc2008/ but, please, don't download the |
15 |
iso image unless you've asked me first since it's not complete work and |
16 |
is not "functional" per say (the current image does not contain the |
17 |
node's nfsroot and the auto-configuration scripts are still being worked on) |
18 |
|
19 |
So, this means it's now the perfect time to send me your wish list. |
20 |
Since we're all interested in seeing Gentoo "sell" as a powerful |
21 |
platform for HPC, it would be nice if some of you could give me good |
22 |
examples of apps that give some nice "marketable" GUI results ;) as well |
23 |
as more seriously used HPC apps (less the marketing fluff). |
24 |
|
25 |
Apart from the wish list, I think a custom theme would also be nice. |
26 |
So a bootsplah, I heard that _really_ sells with the CEOs, as well as |
27 |
some other nifty fb stuff would be willingly integrated into the livedvd ;) |
28 |
|
29 |
That's it for now, just wanted to make an official thread since I seem |
30 |
to have forgotten to do so ;) |
