[ale] CentOS 7 and NVIDIA

[Jim Kinney]

Don't mix 'em yet.

for the efficient (i.e. busy) admin, RPMFusion is not yet online with v7.
So no NVIDIA modules to run a k4000 or a Tesla GPU.

The official Nvidia installer pukes during the build with a failed kernel
test in autoconf and suggests a make oldconfig && make prepare

which also fails in the 3.10.0-123.4.4 kernel tree with a failed call to
arch/x86/syscall/syscall_32.tbl

There is _no_ 32 bit support at all in RHEL7. So what's with a 32-bit sys
lookup table?

Running kernel works fine but building new stuff fails instantly. ugh.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you gain
at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his own tail.
It won't fatten the dog.
