Hi, I've used the replicator package for installing and synchronizing my homogeneous Athlon cluster, and I'm very pleased with ease of use and configuration.
It's meant to be able to handle heterogeneous systems as well but I can't vouch for it there. from `apt-cache show replicator` --- Description: automate new computer installations in a networked site. Using a nfs-root filesystem and rsync, replicator allow you to non-interactively install a target computer identical to the model computer. It can handle differences in partitioning and hardware. . Designed for clusters, classrooms and wherever you need identical Debian boxes. . It's REALLY faster than normal Debian installation method. --- I can't stress enough Howmuch faster the install is, from power up to operational system in 10-15min has been my experience (and these systems are kind of slow booting...) -Jon -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
