[edit] Introduction
We recommend installing the LOCKSS software on a dedicated real or virtual machine. We provide the LOCKSS software integrated with a Linux installation based on CentOS 5.
LOCKSS was previously provided on an OpenBSD based platform, but this platform is being phased out and daemon releases on OpenBSD will stop soon. We can help you identify hardware and develop a plan for your Linux installation and data transition - there are many ways to do this. For assistance, please write to us at

[edit] LOCKSS on Linux Install
We provide a step-by-step installation guide (the LOCKSS Installation Guide) and a customized Linux installation CD (the LOCKSS Net Install CD) that contains everything you need to get started with LOCKSS.

[edit] LOCKSS OpenBSD to Linux Content Transition
We support two methods for transitioning content data: the disk-to-disk method (if you are installing Linux on your existing OpenBSD hardware) and the network method (if you are installing Linux on new hardware). We provide a step-by-step guide for each method and a transition CD (the LOCKSS Transition CD) that contains the tools needed for either method.
