Hello all,

the linux-servers are now nearly 2 weeks online. While some short- and medium-
running SGE-task are running there already, the number of long-running tasks 
is near zero (see graphs at [1]); in contrast the load on willow is still 
quite high.
It would be nice if more of you could try to move tasks away from the solaris-
boxes to the linux-boxes (or better: make the task so independent it runs on 
both architectures).
Please notice that in ~2 months -arch=* will replace -arch=sol as default, so 
you should slowly begin to look if your tools are running on linux or not (and 
if not how that can be fixed).
A word to the pywikipedia-framework users: At the moment it is unclear if the 
old python-unicode-bug is fixed or not on our installation (see [2]). Testing 
(and commenting) is very welcome, but do not run a bot unsupervised.

Sincerely,
DaB.

P.S: If you are still not using SGE, consider it!
