I think, that we should have a Debian Beowulf HOWTO/guide. We keep seeing a lot of questions on the list time and again, and it would be nice to have a guide to setup all cluster software with Debian. Pretty much all the stuff one would need in a cluster is already there in Debian. Also, it would be nice if we could have the packages compiled with better optimization with gcc than just -O2. At least, cluster specific stuff. A better idea would be to use pentium-builder and rebuild from source on a particular architecture.. Ideas ? viral -- And if your head explodes with dark forebodings too, I'll see you on the dark side of the moon.
