"thin clients"). -Information on installation and needed packages and services could be -found in the doc/ subdirectory. +Information on installation and the required packages can be found in +the doc/ folder (especially intro.txt). Further information is available +through the web pages: + +--> http://www.openslx.org (project) +--> http://www.openslx.org/de/doc/Linux_Stateless_Clients (documentation) +--> http://lists.openslx.org (mailing lists) + + +SNAPSHOT-RELEASES +----------------- +The snapshot-releases of OpenSLX are being made to expose the software to a +wider audience in order to gain more feedback on what works and what doesn't. + +New snapshots will be released in short timeframes - at least once a month - +such that we can react to feedback promptly. Aim of the snapshot phase is to +stabilize the software in preparation for the upcoming beta release. + +Upgrading from one snapshot to the other should be a seamless operation, as +eventual differences between the DB-schema should be adjusted automatically. +Only for *downgrades*, manual intervention might be needed. + + +NOTES ABOUT THIS SNAPSHOT +------------------------- +* Cloning is the only form of vendor-OS creation we can currently recommend + for a vendor-OS that is meant to be run in production. + The fresh installation of a vendor-OS into a folder does not work properly + across all distributions, yet, so while it may be interesting to experiment + in that field, problems are more likely. + + +FEEDBACK +-------- +Questions, wishes and general feedback are very welcome. Please direct them +to the appropriate mailing list, in this case the english users list: + + mailto:openslx-users@openslx.org + +Have fun, + + the OpenSLX-team |
