I am new to the Beowulf cluster scene of Linux, and was about to try to set up a cluster in my basement. My question for the gurus here is what angle should I go for a heterogeneous cluster of machines? Like Openmosix, or whatnot. Here are some system specifics
The front-end node node will be a 667 mhz Pentium 3, 64 mb of RAM, and 20 gig hard disk. Another machine, node 1 will be a 350 mhz Pentium 2, 110 mb of RAM, and a 5 gig hard disk. Final node is just about identical to node 1 except it has 64 mb of RAM. I know this is not a high performance cluster by any means, but I would like to try and make a cluster, and I like Gentoo's flexibility, but need to know if it is the best for my cluster setup. Any opinions appreciated! -- [email protected] mailing list
