Debathena brings the full functionality of an Athena workstation to your Debian or Ubuntu system through a set of Debian packages. You can easily install, and cleanly uninstall, whatever packages you want—from a few of the client utilities, to a full-fledged Kerberos login system supporting AFS home directories and locker software. Debathena also powers SIPB’s public dialup server Linerva, and the upcoming Athena 10 release will be partially based on work done by the Debathena project. Debathena supports several installation options; the following are the most popular:
Debathena is a project of SIPB. If you have any questions or comments about these packages, contact the Debathena maintainers.
Debian-Athena is built for all modern releases of Debian and Ubuntu for 32-bit and 64-bit PCs:
In addition, packages for the current stable releases of Debian and Ubuntu should generally work on later testing releases, and most of the source packages should be easily portable to other architectures. The current exception is the OpenAFS kernel modules, which we only build for kernels in the supported distributions; if you run a different kernel, it is easy to build your own OpenAFS module. Any problems should be reported to the maintainers.
