Thank you Doug, this is just the kind of info I was looking for! It does clear things up nicely. I had looked on the http://warewulf.lbl.gov/trac site and joined the IRC room (#warewulf) but had not seen any activity. But I do see there is very current activity on the Google Groups sites. Long live Warewulf!

Perceus was a rewrite of WW v1, seems to have died on the vine. WW V2+ is where you want to look. WW does both provisioning and management (always has). > The thing is, I have not seen much info on the web that is not several > years old.

I realize in internet years "several years is old" however, WW is quite stable, so the documentation is not see in great changes, WW page has documentation: http://warewulf.lbl.gov/trac (True Confession: I am supposed to be working on improving the WW docs progress has been slow, writing too many Hadoop books) Also, Google "layton warewulf" to get Jeff Layton's excellent articles on WW. > > Does anyone have any insight as to if these two applications are still > actively developed and support, and in use? Forget Perceus, WW is actively used and developed with very good people behind it. Also, it is part of the open OpenHPC project -- Doug > > Thank you, > > Jeff Friedman > Sales Engineer > o: 425.420.1291 > c: 206.819.2824 > www.siliconmechanics.com > > > _______________________________________________ > Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin > Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) > visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf > > -- > Mailscanner: Clean > -- Doug -- Mailscanner: Clean _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf Any views or opinions presented in this email are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the company.
