Rule of thumb
From Lenetsky (June 2014 mtg):
- Not much of a problem if training is ~$200 or less.
ChemIT Linux-related resources
- Active Directory integration with Linux — Tips and tools, including PowerBroker (PBIS).
- ChemIT Linux doc location — Historically our Linux docs have been created in MS Word. This page helps authorized staff find them. :-)
- Installing Linux — Oliver's notes on Linux install explorations.
- Learning Linux — Including Linux server administration. And certifications.
- Linux magazines, subscriptions and the like
- Linux software tools
- Cluster provisioning software, including alternatives such as Rocks — Rocks <http://www.rocksclusters.org http://www.rocksclusters.org> is used by CAC and Cornell’s Computer Sciences dept (with CU AD). We instead use warewulf, with torque and maui.
- Puppet, a configuration management tool — Configuration management tool to facilitate managing our (Linux) cluster head nodes, other Linux servers, and our Linux desktops. Works with other OSes (MacOS, Windows), but we'll first focus on Linux.
- Screen and tmux — Terminal multiplexers can manage multiple shell instances, or "windows," at the same time within a single session. They allow the user to detach and reattach terminal sessions, leaving any shells and their subprocesses managed by the multiplexer while detached. And more than one user at a time can simultaneously connect to the same session.
