NEWS:
COT came back to full gain ! Small amount of O2 (60ppm) still flowing, which
is down from 200ppm. The COT group plan to try out the Ar/CO2 mixture one
week before the shutdown.
SYSTEM:
Steve said we ordered 10 pc's. Two servers, which should be faster, are not
ordered yet. Mark stashed all the old pc's, which were replaced, as FNAL
surplus.
We plan to go for Windows XP for the upgrade. The Windows 2000 and XP can coexist. Terminal server and client server are already built-in in the XP system. We can run 'desktop remote connection' which works like the VNC.
Margherita said she found a very useful software. The name of the product is Ad-aware and is a free software from a Swedish company from the site lavasoftusa.com. She ran it "by hand"; maybe it is possible to set it up to automatically run once a week or so. It detects so called "Data miners" which sneak in from the network and other bogus files and programs.
Documentation:
John said it's time to update instructions again.
VNODE:
