I'm currently working on a version myself... here's what I'm planning on doing: Node0: Operates as a firewall for the cluster. Runs a BootP/DHCP server, so that the nodes can be remote/diskless boot (working on this right now. We have one running PXE and Redhat, this is one I'm testing). Has MPICH debs installed. Nodex: Node. DHCP/BootP (working on this right now). MPICH installed. Anyone have any critique of this implementation? ~Warren
