> 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.
