Computer Cluster 2

So after digging a bit, I found a different HPC Linux distro that seems a little closer to what I want to use for a cluster. I was going to comment on the previous entry, but I couldn't for some reason.

Anyway, it's called KestrelHPC, and if I read it right, I only need one install of Debian/Ubuntu to run it. Which means I won't need a disk for every node, and just for the frontend node.

One of the nice things I found is that it's not a dead distro. Last update was back in October, so It's still being worked on.

Again, I still need a USB wireless stick to get anywhere with it, and I won't download /burn it until I'm ready to start experimenting with computer clusters again.

Anyway, thought I'd post the HPC distro so I don't forget about it (and don't have to make a bookmark for it).
