Would it be possible for you to share as to what were the factors that
went with RISE move from RHEL to Debian ?
First of all, our lab badly needed a revamp. Lots of systems just
weren't working and there were some three NIS domains( for 35-40
systems ), some ppl had account in just one domain and couldn't login
is some machines and so on.. The task of doing this revamp was given
to me. And i like debian :) The fact that we had the debian
repository next building(IITM ftp) also helped. I setup a FAI(Fully
automatic installation) server and did all the client configurations
in that (I setup ldap for authentication, which reqd editing 4-5 files
on the clients). After that all the 40 machines installation happened
in some 3 hours without any intervention and the systems were ready
for use right away!
