Hello all,

the linux-servers are now nearly 2 weeks online. While some short- and medium- running SGE-task are running there already, the number of long-running tasks is near zero (see graphs at [1]); in contrast the load on willow is still quite high. It would be nice if more of you could try to move tasks away from the solaris- boxes to the linux-boxes (or better: make the task so independent it runs on both architectures). Please notice that in ~2 months -arch=* will replace -arch=sol as default, so you should slowly begin to look if your tools are running on linux or not (and if not how that can be fixed). A word to the pywikipedia-framework users: At the moment it is unclear if the old python-unicode-bug is fixed or not on our installation (see [2]). Testing (and commenting) is very welcome, but do not run a bot unsupervised.

Sincerely, DaB.

P.S: If you are still not using SGE, consider it!
