As you say, playing with things! I'll probably be intially experimenting with Linuxbios and diskless booting. The application I have in mind is a small render farm - I used to work in post-production. But it is just so much fun to be able to think of a home cluster! By the way, I trudged out to East London today to pick up my board from the courier company. It is an EPAI5000 - I did not realise that DOC was an option on these boards. Mine doesn't have this. A bit frustrating to see the empty space on the board. Does anyone know how to specify this option, and what the extra cost is? _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
