Ulterior motive: I have two hundred machines, presently running RHEL, all in one computer center, and want to run a facility management system. They are all pretty recent: Dual core athlon 64, but only 512MB RAM, and are connected with 100 mbps ethernet. It would be great if we could fix them so that users can log in through LDAP and their home directory is automounted. Ulterior motive - behind the ulterior motive: I want to use the idle cycles on these captive 400 processors to build a high-throughput system using condor. Training: We can use a few to simulate a data center. Set up cobbler on another server (also available) to test the automated infrastructure stack. This is best done on a Sunday - and I do need the assurance that (at least a few of ) the machines would be working desktops the day after!
