For their main cluster [1] they use SLC witch is a version of SL, so another rebuild. For even more info look at [2]. But of course there are a lot of similarities and some rpms might be used from other sources. But every department can pretty much decide by their own, what they want to use. I know of a small Debian cluster and even a Mac one. But if you would count all the machines you would probably end up with, that most are SLC. So no official CentOS @ Cern :( even if I know of 5 desktop installations. Cheers Didi [1] http://batch.web.cern.ch/batch/ [2] http://linux.web.cern.ch/linux/ > > -- > > Brent L. Bates (UNIX Sys.
