While the subject might allude to this being a very specific mail it
really isn't.
I was wondering if anyone has been trying out Fedora on Thin Clients and
related hardware. Or, to be specific, have folks been tinkering with the
following:
- small footprint images of ~100MB providing a desktop (livecd-tools)
- integration with the freeipa bits
- provisioning of the images using cobbler and koan
- management etc via puppet, collectd (or, genome even)
And, just for the heck of it (and since we are on the subject of
managing a 'thin client' architecture) tinkering around with Spacewalk.
At the very end, the question about if the above is interesting enough
for anyone to start playing around with. You wouldn't need a real 'thin
client' hardware for most of the stuff.

The idea of supporting Fedora beyond the standard "two releases plus one
month", which should generally yield 13 months, is not new. It was,
after all, the idea behind the Fedora Legacy project. Unfortunately,
Fedora Legacy ceased operations at the end of 2006, largely due to a
lack of interested package maintainers. So, calls for a "long term
support" (LTS) version of Fedora are met with a fair amount of skepticism.

Subject: Fedora repository at VNIT..
To: susmit shannigrahi <thinklinux.ssh(a)gmail.com>
Hi Susmit,
How's it going? How was the other event at Kolkata?
Thanks for informing. I have already joined the group. I am starting the
work on Fedora repository at our college. Wanted your help in that. Can
you summarize how to go about it. We want it to be intracollege repository
since keeping it open will increase the burden on servers here. So it
would be great help if can provide help in it.
thanks and regards,
Anand.

Hi list,
So, this[1] is the follow up of our AXIS'08 excursion.
The group is new, (only a week, operational for a couple of days) so
don't expect much content over there.
We are actively participating there.
Please join them if you have some spare time as they are totally new
and need a bit guidance.
I hope to get a couple of active ambassadors in a couple of week or so.

Thanks.

hi ,
I received this mail requesting free-media.. I have already accepted the most I could manage from my allowance this month.. (15, which is more than what I generally manage).Is it possible for someone to accept his request?
As you can see above, I have replied saying I couldnt and to either try someone else or wait for the next month.
regards,
Ankur
