I'd like to setup machine for test some computation in my old laptop, before replicate the tests on the server. The computation will be image-processing and machine learning, run some program, load images and videos and run a svm training for object detection. the trainig could be 1 week of computations, maybe more.The server will be CentOS, so I'm thinking about a Fedora machine. I'd like to make a setup bash script where I install all the needed (vpn, zsh, cmake, python, numpy, ffmpeg, libsvm, opencv, qt) and send me a report via mail when finished.I'd like to automate everything with a script and make the image of the filesystem because the main idea is to have some data, analyse them in the next days, then reset the system, use new parameters for the learning algorithm, and run again the training program. repeat it.The machine will have to run and I will wait it to finish so that I'm thinking about some watchdog with cronjob that tell me how is working, send me report in the end, send me a mail if something goes wrong, etcI'm not a Linux guru so.. any kind of advice are welcome!
