I have just rolled out a Scientific Linux (Redhat clone) cluster of 20
nodes plus controller that runs torque for batching and uses a lot of MPI.
My problem is that I periodically get asked to include some library or

for file caching/work space. The boot image is relatively small
(500MB). Yes this uses a little ram for the root file system on the
'diskless' node, but provides a single point of change and a reboot to
update the

Another option I am looking at is Spacewalk, which I may end up going
with as I just found out that some other Redhat
