MSC.Linux is a distro I'm looking into {they use OSCAR software}
for a distro. Rolling my own cluster-distro would be a good learning
experience, but the amount of time would be stagering.
Depending on the amount of memory and harddisk space I can get a hold
of we could get a hard drive for each node but it lookes as if that
might not happen. I'm still leaning toward the RootNFS route {although
going this route will hurt the network} but the more I think about it
the more I dislike it.
iso image blasting you say? humm...
do you mean for updateing or inital install?
Manual config is a definate way to go.
any comments or suggestions?
