Inasmuch as we closed the last Early Blocker moments ago, this is now
the next task on the critical path to installing some early systems.
(PXE is back up.)
I agree with tabbott that we should add "Beta" for expectation setting.
How about changing the first sign to say,
"This cluster contains workstations running a Beta test of the new
Athena 10 release"
and changing second sign to read:
Athena 10
Beta Test
Workstation
Inasmuch as other publicity also points people at athena10.mit.edu,
leaving that URL as-is is fine.
Jon,
Can you cook up an update, and then maybe you and I can go install
some systems? Ordinarily I'd jump on it and say Friday, but maybe we
want to do it Monday afternoon so that we can make site visits during
business hours if they break.
