Cascader-GUI and inthelabs are coming to DICE!

Just got a reply from DICE tech support about my email. I asked if it was possible for ruby-gnome2 to be installed on the DICE machines, allowing us to run GUI programs built for our at-tools suite.

Their reply:

We’re both in luck: the ruby-gnome2 library will be installed by default on the new Fedora 13 lab machines; they’re already installed (minus many research & teaching packages so far) in one lab in AT, and before the start of semester will be rolled out across the lab.

$ rpm -qi ruby-gnome2
Name	: ruby-gnome2
Version	: 0.19.4
Release	: 2.fc13

An example F13 machine is “tulla”, on which you might be able to remotely test your tools.

Ahhhh yeah! I’ll give it a test this afternoon…
