I've just been lurking on the list for a few weeks, watching for good ideas for when I get the time/equipment to make a small cluster of my own. But I would like to suggest that maybe rather than having a debian-beowulf list _and_ a debian-ha list, perhaps one list 'debian-cluster' devoted to all clustering topics would address the needs of a slightly bigger section of the userbase, especially since as you say, a lot of the fundamentals are similar, like how to install/admin multiple nodes, etc. Just an idea, Monte _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
