This is great! I'll be setting up my own little cluster (three, maybe
four, dual PII's) in a couple of weeks, after I move to the College of
Charleston. I was planning on using Debian for them, as I'm quite
comfortable with it and not comfortable with Redhat. I don't have any
experience making debian packages, but I'm willing to learn or test!
An Extreme Debian distribution would be really great.

Especially after reading about all those poor Redhat users trying to
upgrade from 4.2 or something...Debian with apt will be *very* attractive!
