aka: Managing linux nodes in a heterogeneous cluster environment using readonly rootnfs.

Eric will talk about how ILM is able to boot all its Deathstar servers from a single linux image and the gotchas associated with using mixed hardware in a clustered environment. He'll also discuss how linux is utilized for production rendering at ILM.

gumstix, Inc. creates the world's smallest commercially available Linux boards and computers. Their devices are based on Intel's PXA255 processor with Xscale technology (also used in high-end PDAs and smartphones), measure only 20mm x 80mm x 8mm -- the size of a stick of gum -- and cost as low as $109. gumstix boards provide GPIO pins, serial ports, USB 1.1 client, an MMC flash memory card slot, and an I2C bus.

Their's are among the first single board computers (SBCs) shipping with the new Linux 2.6 kernel, with its fully pre-emptible, multi-threading capabilties.

If you point your browser of choice to http://www.nblug.org/installfest/ , you'll be presented with all the info you ever wanted to know about what goes on at an InstallFest, and how you can get the most out of attending one.

So for our next general meeting we will be doing something a bit different. Our regular meeting room is already book with another event, so we will be meeting in the kitchen next door. The plan is for those who are interested to come early (6:30-7:00) and order some pizza, so if you want to join in, bring some pizza money.

We won't have a formal speaker this time, however we will have a projector so I might do a more informal demonstration of some of the Linux multimedia applications I've been using lately, either that or depending on the level of interest I might give a short talk on what's new in Knoppix land.
