Maintaining Large Linux Clusters

Posted by michael on from the sysadmin's-delight dept.

pompousjerk writes "A paper landed on arXiv.org on Friday titled Installing, Running and Maintaining Large Linux Clusters at CERN [PDF]. The paper discusses the management of the 1000+ Linux nodes, upgrading from Red Hat 6.1 to 7.3, securely installing over the network, and more. They're doing this in preparation for Large Hadron Collider-class computation."

    Why do we bother with this story?

    It's not like we haven't got similar, or even larger clusters, right here in the US. Why are Slashdot such french lovers?

    Give us a story about the NSA cluster or something like that. Not some lame french wannabe research institution using an american os (yeah, redhat is american).

      Yeah, screw them cheese-eating surrender monkeys. What good have they ever done us? Like, who apart from total lusers would uses their buttfuck-useless HTML or HTTP?
