FAI ist ein System für eine vollautomatisierte, unbeaufsichtigte Linuxinstallation in wenigen Sekunden, oder abhängig vom Rechner, in einigen Minuten. Ein komplettes Betriebssystem (Debian, GNU/Linux, Ubuntu, SuSE, Fedora, Solaris, Mandriva usw.) wird installiert und konfiguriert. Es enthält ein zentrales Konfigurations-Management und Administration. Eine Skalierbare und flexieble Rollout Methode für eine Linux Migration ist gegeben.

Die Stadt München plant zum Beispiel einen Einsatz für 1.400 Hosts. Einen kurzen anschaulichen Überblick bietet der Flyer flyer-de (pdf)

Dazu ein Artikel auf Vollautomat: Linux automatisch installieren

Superrechner, Hochleistungscluster, Rechnerfarmen haben eines gemeinsam, sie wollen vor Inbetriebnahme aufgesetzt sein. Bei fünfhundert Einzelrechnern steht der Admininstrator ohne Hilfsmittel beinahe vor einem Lebenswerk. Ein kleines Werkzeug namens “Fully Automatic Installation”, kurz FAI, steht im bei. …

FAI is an automated installation tool to install or deploy Debian GNU/Linux and other distributions on a bunch of different hosts or a Cluster. It’s more flexible than other tools like kickstart for Red Hat, autoyast and alice for SuSE or Jumpstart for SUN Solaris. FAI can also be used for configuration management of a running system. ….

Linux Foundation Publishes Study Estimating the Value of Linux

New report finds the value of developing a Linux distribution to be worth $10.8 billion

SAN FRANCISCO – October 22, 2008 – The Linux Foundation (LF), the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux, today announced it is publishing a new report written by Amanda McPherson, Brian Proffitt and Ron Hale-Evans on the value of Linux development. The paper finds that it would take approximately $10.8 billion to build the Linux community distribution Fedora 9 in today’s dollars with today’s software development costs. It would take $1.4 billion to develop the Linux kernel alone.

DistroWatch Weekly, Issue 275

Schreibe einen Kommentar

Mandriva Linux 2009 took the centre stage during last week as many Linux users had a chance to install and check out the latest and greatest from the company that recently celebrated 10 years of existence. The reports varied widely, ranging from praise for the excellent way KDE 4 was integrated into the distribution to outright recommendations to skip this release due to a surprisingly high number of bugs. In other words, it’s the story of Linux distributions – they will work great on one combination of hardware, but will fail miserably on another. In the news section, Debian presents updated artwork for “Lenny”, Linux Mint releases its first stable 64-bit edition, the developers of KPackageKit introduce a new universal way of managing software, and K12LSTP Linux, a Fedora-based distribution for thin servers and clients, becomes K12Linux. Finally, don’t miss the latest entrant into the world of BSD-based live CDs – BSDanywhere, or OpenBSD with Enlightenment. Happy reading!

The fourth and final part of the DistroWatch package management cheatsheet gets two additions: netpkg, a graphical and command-line package management utility developed by Zenwalk Linux (many thanks to Claus Futtrup who kindly provided the necessary information) and a table for managing binary and source packages in FreeBSD…..

The Linux Foundation’s FOSSBazaar Nearly Doubles its Membership

Leading Linux consortia announces new members to participate in open source software governance initiative

SAN FRANCISCO, October 14, 2008 – The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization dedicated to accelerating the growth of Linux and open source software, today announced that its Free and Open Source Software (FOSS) governance workgroup, called FOSSBazaar, has nearly doubled its membership since launching in January.

The newest members include Ars Aperta, Black Duck, BT, Krugle, Palamida, and nexB, which contribute to 15 total members today.

Like proprietary software, FOSS requires due diligence to ensure legal, financial and security compliance. FOSSBazaar is the Linux and open source community’s approach to sustaining FOSS as a dependable choice for IT departments.

During its inaugural year, FOSSBazaar has both established an online destination where collaboration on these topics takes place (https://fossbazaar.org) and appointed full-time workgroup community leader Martin Michlmayr. Michlmayr is a well-known figure that currently serves on the Board of Directors for the Open Source Initiative (OSI). He has been involved in FOSS projects for more than 10 years, including having led the Debian project for two years. FOSSBazaar has also participated in collaborative forums this year such as the Annual Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit and OSCON.

Ultima Linux is a Slackware-compatible Linux distribution available for Intel and AMD-based personal computers. Although first intended as a lightweight, techie-oriented desktop system when development began in November 2004, Ultima has since evolved into a highly stable distribution supporting both desktop and server capabilities. Ultima Linux is built around the K Desktop Environment (KDE), and includes many popular applications such as Mozilla Firefox and Thunderbird, the OpenOffice.org office suite, the GIMP image editor, MPlayer and Xine media players, and many others. It borrows Slackware’s TGZ package format, and can be extended with additional software from a public repository, or various third-party sites.
