First up. Search google/yahoo/askjeeves for user mode linux. http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/ http://www.usermodelinux.org/ http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/uml.xml http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue90/weber.html In addition you can also use bochs (google it !) or Xen (google this too). Also you might need a high end machine to simulate these many nodes. If you have multiple machine connected on a network, you can try using Clusterknoppix. http://bofh.be/clusterknoppix/ http://www-128.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-clustknop.html --> Vinayak H -- www.livejournal.com/users/vinayakh/ -- http://mm.ilug-bom.org.in/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
