Announcing the Linux-Athena 5.2 public beta test

SIPB and linux-dev are proud to announce that the Linux-Athena 5.2
distribution is now available.

The spiffy new features of this system include:

- Based on RedHat Linux 5.2, which uses the spiffy thread-safe glibc
  (i.e. libc 6) shared library.

- Based on Athena 8.2, which has spiffy security features like krb5
  and an ssh client and server.

- New versions of tons of Linux and Athena software.

This is a public beta test release, which means that the documentation
may be incomplete and the software may not be as well-tested as
Linux-Athena 4.2.

If you want to use this system, we recommend that you do a fresh new
install of your computer.  It may be possible to upgrade a system from
Linux-Athena 4.2 to Linux-Athena 5.2, but we do not support this and
we do not recommend it.

The instructions on how to install Linux-Athena 5.2 can be viewed with
the command:
    xdvi /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/doc/current/linux-athena.dvi
They can be printed with the command:
    dvips /afs/sipb.mit.edu/project/doc/current/linux-athena.dvi

Or, you can go to the SIPB office (W20-575) and pick up a copy of
"Installing RedHat-Athena Linux".

If you have any questions about the system, the documentation at
http://web.mit.edu/linux/www may be helpful.  Or, you can send email
to linux-help@mit.edu.

Have a nice day,
Sal Valente <svalente@mit.edu>
MIT SIPB
