Re: Any thought given to building a Debian-Edu/Skolelinux optimized for a Cloud computing environment ??



Hi,

there is a GSummer of Code project about this, quoting from 
http://wiki.debian.org/SummerOfCode2009

On-demand Cloud Computing with Amazon EC2 and Eucalyptus Integration

Student: David Wendt Jr, Mentor: Steffen Moeller 

In many academic fields, as well as commercial industries, people use clusters 
to distribute tasks among multiple machines. Many times this is done by 
packaging a whole operating system disk image, uploading it onto the cluster, 
and having the cluster run it in a VM. This project intends to make it easier 
for Debian to distribute prepared disk images templates like they distribute 
CD images now, for the users to recreate or customise these templates with 
Debian packages and for administrators to host such clusters with Debian.


regards,
	Holger
