I will be teaching a second semester graduate-level operating systems course, and I would like to solicit suggestions or recommendations on a distributed system that can be used for programming projects. I am particularly interested in comments from persons who have used such systems *in courses*, rather than as part of their research projects (students are generally less tolerent of buggy or poorly documented software than researchers). The (rough) course contents is as follows: - cover an average of 3 research papers per week - offer 3 to 4 programming projects, most likely one large project split into parts. Group projects may be given. All comments would be appreciated, especially those relating feedback from experiences in specific courses. -- Thomas Narten narten@cs.albany.edu
