Re: linux cluster



I do a lot of heavy file transfers between all of them, one is a fileserver with about 500 gigs of space and one box is my ftp/apache/whatever server and the other is my test server, that I test out various things before putting them on my ftp/apache server, would it help at all on the file transfers? They are mostly win to lin not lin to lin transfers....using samba

A lcuster casically splits CPU tasks over multiple machines. If you are

doing lots of analysis then you might gain something. If you are just

doing normal desktop things then probablly not. Have a look at

http://www.mosix.org to start with
