> Can FreeBSD cluster? I think the question you are asking is: "Can I compile and run PVM or MPICH on FreeBSD?". I am not aware that there is a port or package currently for these, however, it may not prove too difficult to port over. Someone else want to chime in on this? There was also a shared memory library written for FreeBSD by some professors at some Texas University, called TreadMarks or something. see www.beowulf.org for clustering info. I know there is a page on the mpich site detailing the porting/build process. > If you were setting servers for high > bandwidth demands > (real audio/video, shoutcast, web, ftp) what would be the > ideal configuration? Generally, a high bandwidth network card, and fast disk, right? Plus plenty of upstream bandwidth...
