Homepage link- http://www.iiserkol.ac.in
Description-
The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata has
deployed Debian GNU/Linux on about 20 Intel Dual Core HCL Workstations
and 20 Intel Core2Duo Dell workstations. As of November 2008, most of
them are running Debian "etch", while a few are running Debian
-testing "lenny". The machines are used for scientific research,
programming and code compilation as well as for web browsing and
Internet access/email. Debian "etch" runs on our Mail Server (
Sendmail + SpamAssassin + ClamAV + Apache + SquirrelMail + Courier
Imapd ), NFS & NIS server and the network firewall(iptables). Apart
from that Debian GNU/Linux also runs on the personal computers and
laptops of some faculty members and students.
The main reasons for choosing Debian GNU/Linux:-
i) Debian's stability, security and reliability.
ii) Availability of huge number of pre-packaged software.
iii)Proactive Sysadmin and some local users.
Thanks.
