The E-mail list used for support questions, comments, and development coordination of the Perceus cluster provisioning software has been moved to a new server to better accommodate our expanding user base. The list is now located at Infiscale's list server, which hosts E-mail lists for other Infiscale projects such as Caos Linux. After all these years, we feel that Perceus should be the primary subject of its E-mail list, rather than sharing a list with its older relative, the Warewulf cluster toolkit.

Due to popular demand, we have released binary packages for Red Hat and other Enterprise Linux rebuilds. Please note: Red Hat has an older kernel, no xfs, etc, so please do not mail us for help with xfs on Red Hat. You can get Caos Linux if you want a current kernel, XFS and all the other HPC love you have come to expect.
 
Enterprise Linux RPM's can be found on http://altruistic.infiscale.org/downloads/perceus-1.5.1-rhel5.x86_64.tar.gz with the latest version always available on the Infiscale.com website.

[http://www.linux-mag.com Linux Magazine] today published [http://www.linux-mag.com/id/7239 an article] on building a cluster with Caos NSA and Perceus written by Jeff Layton. The article explains in a nutshell how to build a cluster in 23 minutes with explanations and examples along the way.

Join us at Linux World this year in Moscone Center August 4-7th! Infiscale will be in the .Org section in booth 17 demonstrating the latest Perceus 1.4 (including embedded via Intel Rapid Boot), Caos NSA, and some previews of cloud computing with Abstractual. We will also have some cool give-aways (including an Intel mini cluster: dual systems enclosed in a single enclosure) as well as guest vendor representatives.

Infiscale's CTO Greg Kurtzer will be giving a talk entitled Stateless Provisioning with Perceus at the Open Source Grid & Cluster Conference on Tuesday, May 13th. Come listen and learn how the energy-saving stateless provisioning of Perceus can provide benefit to your HPC project. Don't miss the chance to have your Perceus questions answered in person by the man who knows Perceus best!
