Features

* Ails Up (pre-alpha name)

is a Debian 7.6 stable x86_64 INTEL/AMD repurposed set of Kernel configurations and appliances for multi-purpose general hardware(Gigabyte, Asus, Intel, VIA, SIS motherboards)
Oriented as a tiny testing HPC console/desktop we intend to "ail" our Linux processes for software devs/QA and thin laboratory clusters. MIC hardware. DM/Multipath storage is supported in the Kernel as well as USB storages and an initial attempt to modularize coding by using NUMA on Ethernet and live network filesystems, easy memory and full IPv6 are supported.
The idea remains strong at documenting our building/testing processes as well as optimizing the code for the current hardware (DualCores) and for more modern hardware like Mobiles, i7 Cores or High performance computers running several cores.

* Initial Notes

Personal release for our enterprise cluster.

* Kernel/Integration bugs

Running Linux Kernel 3.16.1 it might hit a few known kernel bugs,
Some of them are next:
1. Video out, No signal after heavy X loads, casual reboots
2. RCU hangchecks and stack dumps. No reboots generally just a lot of noise.
3. Workers poor configuration for High-end multitasking.
4. A few IPv4 network stack overflows. eventual reboots.

* TODO

1. Pluggable features in /usr/local /opt /data filesystem
2. ALSA
3. Huge tables default configuration
4. Student/Developer scripts. (git pull, builders)
5. Kernel patching, testing features, etc
