We use a Linux cluster here, too. It was upgraded recently and consists
now of 32 PII/300 machines (upgradable with a second PII). We will upgrade
to Debian soon (we are using Slackware in the moment). We do not use
Beowulf in the moment. A web page of the cluster project is at
http://bigbrother.ag1.mpi-sb.mpg.de/.
Please compare with my previous mail about 'Unattended package install'
