Hi Matt,
If you have a good base knowledge of Unix/Linux it should not be difficult
at all..
However, I have records of someone else at UNC-A running the LDM.
I have:
University of North
Carolina at Asheville
vortex.atms.unca.edu
Contact:
Leigh Orf
address@hidden
828-232-5159
I suggest you contact Leigh to see if it is still running. We feed only
one machine per/campus to avoid chewing up bandwidth.
"Fully Qualified Hostname" = the machine name you intend to run the LDM
on..
Good luck and let me know how/if you want to proceed..
Cheers,
-Jeff
