Fwd: Debian on Power
* English:
Our contact in Scribona, the Norwegian largest hardware distributor,
has offered us to do a trial with Debian sarge on an OpenPower (POWER5
processor-based) server. The idea is to test it in a standard school
environment. OpenPower also have virtualization features that could be
nice in municipalities that runs an centralised operation with
Skolelinux and thousands or ten thousands of users.
Scribona will also facilitate an 2 days workshop for 2 persons
with testing out the server. This workshop is free of charge, but
you have to pay your own transportation expenses.
So, is you the one that want's to participate on this? Send an e-mail on
the list :-)

* Norsk:
Vår kontakt hos Scribona, Norges største maskinleverandør, ønsker å
gjøre et utprøving av den nye OpenPower-tjeneren (POWER5 basert
prosessor). Det beste er å få til testen i et standard
skolemiljø. OpenPower har også innebygd støtte for virtualisering som
kan være kjekt å bruke når man har store installasjoner med tusen
eller titusenvis av brukere.
Scribona vil tilrettelegge et verksted over 2 dager for 2 personer fra
vårt miljø hvor man gjør seg kjent med tjenermaskina. Verkstedet
vil ikke koste noe, men man må dekke transport selv.
Så hvem føler seg kallet? Om du er interessert så er det bare å sende
e-post :-)

Hei, Knut!
Hyggelig å snakke med deg igjen og få en status fra Skolelinux!
Kikk på dette. Det er spennende å finne ut status på Debian i forhold
til IBM OpenPower.
Snakkes!

Subject: Debian on Power
Hi Bjorn,
Here are some names: first we worked together with Cajus Pollmeie
<pollmeier@gonicus.de> from www. gonicus.de german IT support company
specialized on debian support. In the next step we got 3 OpenPower
systems to the university of Augsburg Markus Zahn
<markus.zahn@rz.uni-augsburg.de>. From the IBM side Michael Perzl and
myself worked on it.
Cajus Pollmeier of Gonicus (http://www.gonicus.de) has been very
instrumental in getting Debian Sarge running on IBM pSeries and
OpenPower systems (specifically adapting the Debian installer,
building a 64-bit tool chain etc.). Basically Debian Sarge runs now
on every current IBM POWER-based systems which is Linux-enabled, i.e.,
every POWER4- and POWER5-based system but also IBM systems based on
the PPC970 PowerPC processor (JS20 Blade)
We are currently in the process of installing three OpenPower 720
systems at the University of Augsburg to better support the Debian
community and to make access via the internet much easier for people
interested in Debian on POWER hardware. The main purpose of these
systems is to serve as an Internet Debian build host which should make
it easier for people/developers interested in Debian on POWER to get
acess to the systems and use them to port/recompile their applications
on POWER.
