[cfarm-users] New OS requirements on the farm?

[Christian Jullien]

First of all, I would like to send VERY BIG thanks to people giving us
access to this large collection of machines.

I personally do very lightweight tasks testing tcc C compiler on the
different architectures it supports.
I especially appreciate a machine with the very last gcc version. This
allows to find possible new warnings/errors it can detect.

This is only my own opinion.

Hello,

We will soon have to migrate some of the existing x86_64 machines at OSUOSL,
and we can choose the OS on the new machines.

What OS would be useful to add to the farm?  We will most likely provide
Debian and CentOS, but are there other needs not well covered by the farm?
CentOS stream? 8 or 9? Rocky? Fedora? Arch Linux? Debian testing?

Please be specific regarding versions (CentOS in particular can quickly get
confusing).  Also, it would be useful to know if you need a particular OS
only for lightweight tasks, or rather for heavy building/testing of big
projects.

Thanks,
Baptiste
