Thanks Robert. The link to Ron Minnich's page was particularly useful. = I'm collecting 'obsoleted' hardware from work with a view to building a = 4 node cluster at home. Any larger than 4 is likely to be the cause of a = "domestic dispute" ;-) > I am trying to get a copy of the Extreme Linux CD that describes how = to > setup a Beowulf using Red Hat Linux v5.2.

I suspect the packages (PVM,MPI,etc) are out of date too but the = documentation may be useful. I've gleaned all of mine from various = Beowulf-related sites, and the important software is in FreeBSD's ports = collection. > Hopefully a site devoted to Beowulfing with FreeBSD will soon be > available.

Most of the Beowulf/Linux material is applicable to BSD too, but I guess = i'd like to see a site up simply from a BSD advocacy perspective. People = are using it but no-one's shouting about it. I'm surprised that = extremebsd.org is unregistered. Any takers, or shall I do it? <gulp - = rash comment - shut up...>.
