Main reason is to avoid security holes and update libraries.
Libraries not present in the distribution will be provided with a new mechanism implemented with success by Lunarc. It will be in a test state during 2017.
OpenSuse 13.1 is out of support since November 2016; the software is already old.
Target distribution
Ubuntu 16.04 will be supported until 2021 and is my preference. There will be no more
machine update until that time.
OpenSuSE Leap can be installed upon request. Its release cycle and support is unclear, therefore I am not supporting it anymore.
Tentative Schedule
Status of other machines
Upgrade of vespa 2017
Decision pending: centos6 or centos7
front ends

vespa2.matfys.lth.se: the system will be updated
old nodes n1-n5
Intel
old nodes n6-n10
Opteron! Will CentOS7 run on those?
old nodes n11-n12
new nodes n13-n20
no planned update at the moment. They run CentOS6.x and easybuild.
