A lot of things changed during the Summer of 2006...

• Nearly all the servers were completely updated, including faster hardware for the two primary servers, Grendel and Ozark.

• In the process, we have invalidated all of the old passwords. Stop by the office of Dr. Burch or Dr. Ferrer to get a new password.

• All of the computers in the Advanced Computing Laboratory in MCRey 316 were replaced with new ones.

• Two additional new computers were added to the Advanced Computing Laboratory, bringing it to its full capacity of 14 computers.

• We switched Linux distributions, to CentOS 4.3, with a more carefully customized laboratory environment than before.

• The wireless network was expanded to cover the whole floor, and the capacity was lifted to 20 simultaneous computers.

• We initiated daily archival of home directories, allowing students to view previous versions of their files.

• A new Hendrix Linux Web site is introduced, with information about doing things with the Linux network: ozark.hendrix.edu/linux.
