About the OS, it is fine to install any kind of OS you like, but we suggest that install the latest version will save you more time because there is still some software requirement (such as gcc perl). The following link will show you the software requirement for install GT4 http://www.globus.org/toolkit/docs/4.0/admin/docbook/ch03.html And it also show the "Platform Notes" for some problem for different OS. You can select the OS that your student most familiar with. (Sample of OS) NTHU use CENT OS, http://www.centos.org/ THU use fedora core5 these two platforms has been tested and working fine.
