personal opinion is that you hold off installing AG2.1 for the moment.
Currently, you won't be able to do a successful install in any case. ANL are
promising a fixed release real soon (this week...?). Watch AG-TECH for signs
that this imminent release is more stable and robust. Then install
it!</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=125184110-20082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2>We're intending to use AG2.1 for SC Global in November (you'll need
to register to take a full, interactive part - see <A
href="http://www.sc-conference.org/sc2003/global.html">http://www.sc-conference.org/sc2003/global.html</A> for
more details). So you'll need it for that. I believe that ANL intend to switch
off the AG1 venue server early next year. So you'll need AG2 then. But I'm sure
they won't switch it off until AG2 is working at least as well as
AG1.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=125184110-20082003><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
last point is that I'm sure ANL would appreciate people trying out AG2.1 as soon
as it's out. That way, they'll know about problems. You can install AG2.1
without uninstalling AG1 (a point that's proved absolutely vital so
far...).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

I was considering upgrading our access grid node here at USM from the old
version 1.0 that we’re using to 2.1. My question is, is there any reason
to do this? Is it needed, or will it be needed. Can I expect any
problems? I hoped to start with fresh installs of Windows XP on the
Control and Display machines, and RedHat 9.0 on the audio and video
machines. What are you’re suggestions? How much time can expect to
get it up and running (by this I mean, won’t I require a certificate to be
returned to me by <A
href="mailto:Leggett@mcs.anl.gov">Leggett@mcs.anl.gov</A>?).</SPAN></FONT></P>
