Description

Carbon was a direct result of discusions on the Admin-discuss list. It was felt that Prodigy could no longer handle the load placed on RedBrick during peak periods. Carbon was directly funded by the Society and the SPC.

Carbon was the primary login server until it was replaced by Murphy. Between then and 2010 it performed a variety of small tasks. With the arrival of Morpheus in 2009 and Worf in 2010 the remaining services were migrated allowing Carbon to become a dedicated development machine. It is intended that Carbon will in future follow the six month Ubuntu release cycle (rather than the LTS cycle generally followed) so users can access more recent development tools/libaries.
