perfsonar development work

[Maciej Glowiak <>]

Hi Loukik,

I think "recommended" OS is generaly wrong idea. Our requirements are 
Java, Ant, perl, Exist DB (LS/MA), rrdjtool (MA), etc.
all with specific versions.

Why can't we just write the list of "tested" OS-es and distributions?
For example:

- LookupService on Linux Slackware 10.1 with kernel 2.6.11, Java 
1.5.0_02, Ant 1.6.5, eXist XML DB 1.0RC -- status tested, no problems
- LookupService on Linux Ubuntu 6.x with kernel 2.6.18, Java 1.5.0_11, 
Ant 1.6.5, eXist XML DB 1.1RC  -- status tested, no problems
