Hello list,

My name is Matt Zagrabelny, I work as a Debian sysadmin for the
University of Minnesota Duluth. We are looking at setting up a Beowulf
Cluster for our Physics Department. They are advocating Scientific Linux
(RedHat derivative), I am advocating Debian.

They need certain CERN software. They have pointed me to the following
website:

http://lhcb-comp.web.cern.ch/lhcb-comp/Frameworks/

They need things like GAUDI. I am wondering if anyone has any experience
with installing this software (on Debian), if anyone could give any hints, or any
general advice regarding CERN packages/frameworks/software.

My condolances, [some/most] CERN software is hell to deal with. It can bedone though, just expect to spend alot of time learning about a dozen orso home-brewn packaging and build tools.
