So, I'm in a cluster printing out my polisci lab pset (pulp-fiction wasn't even close to working).
I sat down at one of these new-fangled beta DebAthena machines, and I gotta say that it's kinda shnazy. The GUI is a little more familiar/easier to use, and it isn't as ugly.
I'm not a big athena user, and the vast majority of my athena use is done via ssh... but still, DebAthena is a step in the right direction, imo. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

The next athena release is debian-based.
There are a few machines running this new version in various clusters.
I used one.
I liked it. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

That makes slightly more sense.
Aren't you the fuck out of here, though? |

Why would it matter if this thing exists since you are leaving in approximately ten minutes? |

I never said that it was of particular importance to me.
I just said that it seemed better than the current athena release. _________________ When I am weaker than you, I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you, I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles.

Well I'm sure the course 6-ers will complain that it's too user friendly and, you know, good.
Everything should be command line! |
