Rocks is still alive with RHEL 6.2 Kernel and OSCAR still struggling to make
manual binary just like 5.1.x version .
I hope that OSCAR will come up for the same or it will dead ?

What about Debian based? I don't really like redhat's way of managing things.
They have a command for every task, and sometimes they cross-talk. I prefer
editing plain-text configuration files.

It really depends on what you are using it for. I've been closely following and
contributing to Warewulf - http://warewulf.lbl.gov/trac since early this year,
and LBL really has resurrected the project. It still isn't for the faint of
heart as there are quite a few manual steps needed to get a cluster up and
running, but it seems that they are trying to form a community to help them
identify and work through the gaps and such and help with documentation. They
have a new release, version 3.2 releasing (should be within a week) that fixes
all the old broken issues with Warewulf and adds some new features. Again, it
isn't nearly as simple as ROCKS to install and deploy yet, but I feel that with
enough help, this is possible. Don't get me wrong, I like ROCKS for simple
installations (and if the hardware is older), but there are often significant
delays in supporting new RHEL/CentOS versions (which makes it
difficult/impossible most of the time to recommend ROCKS for folks buying new
hardware), plus the fact that you are tied to those distros vs Warewulf which
is a more flexible framework.
CAOS (the OS) and Perceus (from Infiscale) are also pretty much dead. Tis a
shame, as I really liked Perceus, but as it was based on Warewulf components in
the first place, I hope most of its functionality can be reproduced (and this
time in a project, like Warewulf, that has a kinder license (BSD))

Hello,
OK. So it appears that Oscar is very much dead. Does anyone know of any
similar solutions which are still active?
I have come across two that appear to still be ?alive?: Rocks and Warewulf.
Does anyone know of any others? A lot of the others that I have been aware
of in the past (Oscar, Perceus, Caos, etc.) all lead to dead-ends web links or
bits
that are several years old.
Thanks in advance,
Steve Nash
