[Planetlab-users] Unix machines

[Robert P Ricci]

As far as I know, none of the PlanetLab nodes run FC6.

PlanetLab provides software and instructions for creating a development
box ('devbox') of your own - installing the same software that's on the
PlanetLab node, plus a compiler and other development tools. You could
compile your binaries on a devbox, rather than your university machines.
The instructions are here:
https://wiki.planet-lab.org/twiki/bin/view/Planetlab/DevBox
... though the site seems to be down right now.

If you can't get another machine (or virtual machine) to turn into a
devbox, Emulab provides a 'devbox on demand' service, which will give
you access to a devbox whenever you need one. See this page:

Hope this helps.
