[Cnqo] CNQO cluster -- please no ThinLinc on wildebeest

[Oliver Henrich]

Dear CNQO folks,

Some of you are using wildebeest as ThinLinc server. After the reboot on Wednesday, the load average is now up again to 6, but this is not reflected in top (see below).

Could you please refrain from using wildebeest as ThinLinc server as it impairs other users. Please use phys-porpoise instead. On Wednesday, Timothy said "Please only use Wildebeest as a login server. It’s not big enough to run demanding jobs locally.” ThinLinc is such a demanding job.

In order to use phys-porpoise as ThinLinc server whilst off-campus you need to connect via VPN. It works marvellously and I do it all the time! Any questions, please feel free to drop me a line.

Best regards and many thanks,
Oliver
