For those of you who thought you'd never see the words cutting-edge and Debian in the same sentence, I have a surprise of sorts.
We're going to take a shot at maintaining on kronos an installation of sid (Debian's unstable tree) in parallel with its stable files. I've set the system up to grab new packages each day, so you can expect the software there to stay fresh. It is contained in a "chroot" environment, but it contains some services, including crond, atd, and sshd. You can access it by sshing to a special port number, port 122. $ ssh -p 122 kronos.truman.edu Your usual home directory is mapped, so you will have all of your files. To scp files there, use some form of: $ scp -P 122 localfile kronos.truman.edu:. Most things should work exactly like usual, although you'll find a few differences with programs like mount and df. Try it out. Let me know if there are more packages that should be installed. Let me know if you come across glitches that can be fixed. Let me know if you like it.
