Demystifying the Distributed Systems Learning Journey

I am continually amazed at how Linux has become the go to operating system for large-scale systems. I have always encouraged system administrators to start learning Linux, as I believe this is the future of computing. 

Bret Dayley writes on the SUSE Linux Blog

SUSE’s partnership with HPE Cray dates back to the early 1990s, pre HPE’s acquisition of Cray, and the entire time SUSE has been collaborating on Cray OS – a specialized version of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. Working together, we’ve created a specialized low-jitter OS enhanced for high performance computing that is particularly small in footprint. And HPE Cray OS includes reliability, availability and serviceability (RAS) features such as services to verify compute nodes run efficiently with integrated performance testing and hardware reporting. Integrated node health service means users can validate compute nodes prior to application launch to help maximize use of available resources.

What Linux distro do you run? I am a fan of Fedora for the desktop and Red Hat Linux or Rocky Linux on the server side.

If you’re one like me who gets excited when a new major or minor Linux release is out, then you should be pleased with Debian 11.6.

Debian Blog

The Debian project is pleased to announce the sixth update of its stable distribution Debian 11 (codename bullseye). This point release mainly adds corrections for security issues, along with a few adjustments for serious problems. Security advisories have already been published separately and are referenced where available.

Fedora has been my Linux distro of choice and their latest version has been released.

Matthew Miller writes in Fedora Magazine

Today I’m excited to share the results of the hard work of thousands of Fedora Project contributors: the Fedora Linux 37 release is here! Let’s see what the latest release brings you. As always, you should make sure your system is fully up-to-date before upgrading from a previous release. Can’t wait to get started? Download while you read!

Fedora Linux 37 is adding two new editions, Fedora CoreOS and Fedora Cloud. I’ll be eager to try out Fedora Cloud. What is your distro of choice? Please let me know on Twitter.

If you are keen on making Fedora the best operating system for Linux, then I encourage you to participate in Kernel 6.0 test week.

The kernel team is working on final integration for Linux kernel 6.0. This version was just recently released, and will arrive soon in Fedora. As a result, the Fedora kernel and QA teams have organized a test week from Sunday, Oct 16, 2022 to Sunday, Oct 23, 2022. Refer to the wiki page for links to the test images you’ll need to participate. Read below for details.

The more folks that participate, the stronger the final release of Fedora will be. Happy coding!
