HPC Cluster with Debian Etch

[Michael Madden <darkspleen@gmail.com>]

Hello:

Is anyone aware of a project similar to Rocks Clusters 
(http://www.rocksclusters.org/) that uses Debian as it's base?  Rocks is 
super simple to get setup;  I recently setup a 8 node HPC cluster with 
Rocks to develop MPI applications in under an hour.  However I'd prefer 
to use something based on Debian Etch.

I've came across a few projects (ClusterKnoppix, PelicanHPC, 
ParallelKnoppix, Quantian), but these projects are based live CD 
projects like Knoppix and Debian Live.  I'd really like to have a 
cluster with a persistent setup similar to that provided with Rocks.

Thanks in advance.
