Hi, I'm new (three months) on the Cplant integration team at SNL
http://www.cs.sandia.gov/cplant/
which currently has a couple thousand alphas, myrinet 2000 (and
other flavors), running RedHat. I'm definately still learning the
ropes here, but over time if I become aware of significant technical
advantages of Debian over RedHat on clusters, I'll definately present
them. I am a very strong Debian fan and have been (hopefully ;)
watching this list. So I too, am all ears re: Debian&Myrinet etc,
Quadrics also has some potential here. I wish I had something to
contribute (don't at this point) but I thought I'd speak up and say
hi.
