Hello:
As an effort to avoid installing the same packages (like latex,
emacs,
gnuplot..) everytime I do a fresh install of a Linux distro, I
decided
to create a Fedora spin to cater the users who use Linux as their
main
workstation to help them in their research.
I see from [1] that a Fedora "Spin for Science" is in the
Ideas
section. However, the SciTech mailng list seems deactivated at the
moment and hence I had some discussions on the Release Engineering
mailing list [2].
At this point of time, here is what I have (based on the suggestions
by Bill Nottingham): An updated 'comps-f16-xml.in' whose
current
version is at [3] and based on that a possible kickstart script[4].
Any thoughts/comments/suggestions appreciated.
Cheers,
Amit
Amit, I would be keen to help with this spin. The SciTech SIG seems to be
dead making it a little difficult for scientists to find common ground on
the project.
