beowulf cluster

[George Toft]

I would use whatever distribution offers the best community forum 
(support).  I like Red Hat / Fedora (no distro war!!!) because so many 
people use it, someone has usually solved my problem and I just need to 
google for it.

In my Mosix cluster, I only had to recompile the kernels and rpm install 
them on the other systems (plus NFS setup, IIRC).  I think Linux from 
scratch would make your build time much much longer.

Regards,

George Toft
