Ubuntu on my Mac

Installed VitualBox on my Mac today followed by Ubuntu. Looks to be much the same as Parallels but it is free to use in binary form for personal use and the underlying code is even opensource so that is good. So far it seems to be working. The reality though is I have not missed linux on my laptop since getting a mac.

SL3 Security Updates

Looks like SL3 will be maintained with vendor's security updates until 2010. This is good news for EGEE who are behind the previous published end of life for the release of the SL4 service nodes.
