Re: Automated cluster installs...
Hi Carlos,
I used FAI and Debian Sid to install two clusters on our lab, one with 9
Intel PCs and other with 16 AMD Athlon XPs.
FAI took a little while to configure, but once set up it did a very clean and
controlable job. Smooth and quick mass installation of nodes :-)
Cheers
Claudio Martins
