Red Hat 7.5 release

[Predrag Punosevac]

Dear Autonians,

On April 10, Red Hat Inc. has announced the release of Red Hat
Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.5, the latest update of the company's
enterprise-class Linux distribution.

Thanks to the hard work of my friend Josko Plazonic and his team at
Princeton University Springdale Linux a free, enterprise-class,
community-supported computing platform functionally compatible with its
upstream source, Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) has also been updated
last night to the version 7.5.

I am happy to announce that as of this moment all Auton Lab computing
nodes have been updated to the version 7.5 with exception of few
obsolete machines running Springdale 6.9. Note that I didn't update CUDA
and NVidia drivers on GPU[1-9] as that would require reboots and perhaps
would break deep learning software many of you are using. I also didn't
reboot non GPU computing nodes in order to avoid disruption, thus nodes
are still running the same kernels but the very latest userland.

Virtual hosts running Springdale Linux are also upgraded as well as most
desktops. I upgrading few remaining desktops right now. 

Please test if the things work for you and report any strange behavior.
Also Ben and Jarod who have GPU cards in their desktops should be extra
vigilant. Please let me know if your desktops look broken. I will be
happy to upgrade your NVidia drivers and CUDA if the things appear
broken.

Best,
Predrag
