Hi everybody, Let me first introduce myself: I am a physicist trying to get my PhD at Erlangen University and at the HERMES Experiment at Desy in Hamburg. I am using Gentoo for some time now, convincing our sysadmin in our group at the university to also switch to gentoo. We are now running gentoo on most of our desktop machines and also on the machines in the students computing room. I have also been quite active as a students representative in faculty board...
We had the Idea to hand out a Linux LiveCD to all new students
(something like 100 per year), containing a linux distro with the
standard office stuff and also some physics applications (which range
from simple gnuplot to root). It should Just Work(TM), giving the
students the possibility to work with the software they will later have
to use in their scientific life; provide them with software they can use
for student-labs etc.
I played a bit with catalyst, which seems really nice. What I would like
to know from you: has somebody already done something like that? What
was your experience with it and can I have the catalyst spec files :-)
cheers
Nils
