I've used both FAI and SystemImager myself, and I'd appreciate any feedback, or input anyone may have in this area. To answer your question- I'm using FAI now, primarily because it fits in better with our system administration policy, and can easily be extended to cover multiple roles, and multiple hardware. [Not specifically beowulf related, but its a bonus when I can use the same system to install beowulf nodes as to setup mail servers]. SystemImager, on the other hand, is much easier to get running. -- >dopey!debian.org <http://www.debian.org/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
