Alternative: stick to SLC5 plan?

• Stick to original plan, or certify a beta?

• • Would have a few online farms on SLC4, rest on SLC5
  • Unrealistic! SLC5 too close to LHC startup
  • Little to be gained If SLC4 is around as well (have 2.6 kernel, don't foresee immediate requests for Xen)

• But: SLC5 will come anyway (newer hardware support etc)

• • May get used behind the scenes on hidden services
  • May get used on individual laptops/desktops
  • Some services will/may try to skip SLC4
  • But can discuss release/certification schedules later..
