hello everybody

I successfully installed a *very* small two node cluster with a shared volume on linux (both debian, one x86, one ARM [laugh not: NSLU2 :)]).

before that, I tried to install the "clusterware" package on my windows xp box and it constantly complained about the three different ip addresses it wanted to see, then I got so frustrated with numerous manual hosts-file changes, loopback adapter installations, and finally the installer not letting me do interface orderings myself (my "private" adapter became always the main node name etc.) that I eventually just quit trying.

why is installation on linux so easy and almost works out of the box, while setting up the same thing on windows is massive PITA?

and, if I eventually would manage to install clusterware on windows - would it play nicely with the linux boxes in a "mixed" cluster?

btw, I glanced through the archives of the last months (since there seems to be no searchable archive), but did not find any posts about this rather open question.

thanks & regards
nicola
