I'm just a user, not a developer and I have no use for the URL's. But I would like to mention that no one makes a distribution intended for a cluster machine. All the distributions that I know about are intended for fairly general purpose set of uses; For example, no machine operating within a cluster of machines should be loaded with compiler tools; Such tasks, such as compiling source code should happen prior to loading code on a cluster. Also, cluster-based machines usually need certain resources that, so far as I know, are not pre-built into the current distributions. And though we tried, spending (over the course of a year,) a couple of months on the problem, we were never able to make cluster-it work on FreeBSD. Most of the code works just fine, but not the critical task/job control features. Cluster machines are intended for production, not development. Lot's of similar characterizations can be made, but no one, at least so far as I know, makes a distribution, either for Linux or FreeBSD, that is appropriate for cluster community service.
