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.
