Today I have released Dotsch/UX 1.0. - Dotsch/UX is a Linux distribution for BOINC which easily installs and boot from a USB stick, hard disk and from diskless clients and also has some interfaces to setup the diskless server and the clients automatically.

I am alpha testing the next Dotsch/UX relase for x86 (32 bit) and x64 (64 bit) in the moment. If anybody is interested in alpha testing the new release, please contact me via PM or email.
----------------------------------------New features are the x64 support, mixed x64/x86 diskless clients on the same diskless server, DHCP server for a non diskless server, build in CUDA support and several bug fixes for the USB stick and diskless/server installation.

Dotsch,
----------------------------------------you might want to do up with CADENCE http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=23044 Got a 4GB hi speed stick lying about and would like to give both a try, but personally I dislike *n*x. Too many frustrations from the SCO Xenix days and last trying Ubuntu 8.04 disappointed about speed and ease of interface. Supposedly 10 is starting to beat Woz on performance.

Dotsch, you might want to do up with CADENCE http://www.worldcommunitygrid.org/forums/wcg/viewthread?thread=23044 Dotsch/UX and his USB stick version are completly different. Dotsch/UX is a lot of more. With Dotsch/UX it's posible to boot the OS from a USB stick or a Hard disk or diskless from a diskless server. The tools to setup easly a diskless server and the diskless clients are also included. So USB boot is only one point, which is also posible with Dotsch/UX. Got a 4GB hi speed stick lying about and would like to give both a try, but personally I dislike *n*x. Too many frustrations from the SCO Xenix days and last trying Ubuntu 8.04 disappointed about speed and ease of interface. Supposedly 10 is starting to beat Woz on performance. In my tests it show no perfomance difference. It's faster and responds a lot of quicker as the Windows installation on the same host... If you make a a dedicated system for crunching BOINC you can install them and let them running and forget.... Btw. SCO != Unix... ;-) What do you mean with 10 ? |
