Anything Else?If you are looking for aproval, I say lets go. IMHO we shuold have done this in the last vacation break we had a few weeks ago.
I can only think about this issues:
- Don't install a compiler on that box
And when we need to build a custom package (the kernel comes to mid) :
what build machine should be used?
Beak is already configured that way. When I need to build something, I use a VMWare machine at home which is configured similarly to beak, but less hardened. I then transfer the compiled debs to beak, and install them there.
Not always 100% possible. Still, I do believe there should be no non-packaged software there.- /usr/local should be empthy (since no "non-distro" tools will be installed)
Preferably there should be little or no non-debian software.
Yes, but things often don't go well.- make iglu.org.il point to a page (probably in beak) saying we are offline
Good luck (how much time will it take to re mirror everything from zero?)
No. If all goes well, /storage remains unharmed, as well as /home and
/iglu .
Do you want me to install a setup similar to beak on iglu? CHROOT apache and all?
