I think, that we should have a Debian Beowulf HOWTO/guide. We keep seeing
a lot of questions on the list time and again, and it would be nice to
have a guide to setup all cluster software with Debian. Pretty much all
the stuff one would need in a cluster is already there in Debian.
Also, it would be nice if we could have the packages compiled with better
optimization with gcc than just -O2. At least, cluster specific stuff.
A better idea would be to use pentium-builder and rebuild from source on
a particular architecture..
Ideas ?
