FNN is academicaly interesting, but a royal pain in the ass to set up. yeah, the web page will autogenerate your routing information, and if you have a very limited budget it can be a price/performance win, but i'd suggest buying a big-ass switch. then you can spend your time tuning your code instead of fiddling with network topologies. > The scyld system is now up and I'm starting to deal with the software issues. this is a great question ( getting FNN and scyld to work together) to ask the beowulf mailing list ([EMAIL PROTECTED] : www.beowulf.org for more info). however, since scyld is not (yet) debianised, i don't know how relevant this mailing list is. ==rob -- Rob Latham: linux A-Team Bethlehem, PA USA EAE8 DE90 85BB 526F 3181 1FCF 51C4 B6CB 08CC 0897
