Here's an example of what motivates the need for decent tracking of how
many people install Zero Cost Athena/ Linux Athena:
There allege to be 150 Linux Athena systems in EECS.
But the register-ws discuss meeting shows 11 systems registered to EECS,
and a handful in NE43, and Bldg's 36 and 38.
To me, the ideal system would have helped me see that the number of
Linux Athena systems went from a handful to a hundred.
I know that Athena Suns do a syslog every time they reboot.
I wonder if there could be some sort of syslog specifically for every
Athena install, that would then eventually turn into a report of X
systems on subnet Y over time period T.
What do people think about the feasibility of this?
