We haven't, but it's on our todo list (though not near the top). I
expect we'd deploy EMI-2 (though would prefer to deploy UMD-2). Whether
we deploy SL5 or SL6 depends on whether we think ATLAS will be able to
use SL6.

For testing purposes one or two nodes.
There is another cluster at QMUL which we should get some time on - and
that's SL6.

We haven't deployed it - that's also on our todo list.
Given the lack of support for tarball installations with glexec, it may
be we try to redo our install system and use the RPMs. Ultimately this
is the long term solution, but is going to take a lot longer.
