[Condor-users] Pools of Virtual Boxes 1.2

["Craig A. Struble, Ph.D." <craig.struble@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Condor Users,

The Pools of Virtual Boxes (POVB) team is pleased to announce our  
version 1.2 release of our packaged Linux-based Condor execute nodes  
running in VirtualBox. POVB is available from

http://poolsofvirtualb.sourceforge.net

Some highlights:

- Based on VirtualBox 2.2.4 (the 3.0.x series has stability and  
networking issues)
- Fedora Core 11 or CentOS 5.3
- Condor 7.3.1
- NAT networking using CCB connectivity or bridged networking
- Improved Windows services to monitor Windows host usage

Of more interest to administrators wishing to deploy POVB is the  
bootstrapping framework, which allows for add-on package deployment  
and the ability to choose other Linux distributions. The bootstrapping  
tools run on Linux and OS X.

    Craig
