I saw this on the CTC list and thought there might be a few folks here who might not have seen it.

Subject: [ctc] Introducing TarHeel Linux
To: The ctc mailing list <ctc AT listserv.unc.edu>


Dear CTC Friends,

Please mark your calendars for June 24 to meet the new arrival on
campus: TarHeel Linux. We'll hear from the folks who developed this
custom Linux image for UNC and learn how it integrates with the larger
campus infrastructure and service offering set.

What: Introducing TarHeel Linux
When: Thursday June 24th at 11AM
Where: 08 Peabody

Introducing TarHeel Linux - a secured desktop Linux distribution
tailored for UNC.  Installation is extremely quick and easy on recent
CCI computers or compatible Intel-based hardware.  It comes with a large
and ever-growing repository of Open Source software built specifically
with the UNC research community in mind.  This distribution uses UNC
Onyen ids and passwords, and automatically does nightly software updates
and patches, along with basic integrity scans. There is a Wiki available
for TarHeel Linux administrators, filled with documentation on best
practices and tips: http://tarheellinux.unc.edu. Some content on the
Wiki is restricted to people who administer TarHeel Linux hosts, but
much of it is public.
