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 =

I suspect the packages (PVM,MPI,etc) are out of date too but the =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.

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 - =

Best regards,
