Hi, I'm a research assistant/programmer/system admin at Alexander Technology, an Australian tech startup with a close association with the Australian National University (ANU). Alexander Technology specialise in low-end High Performance Computing (HPC) solutions, that is for budgets generally less than $100k. In this market, the barriers to entry are relatively high. 90% of people who need such systems do not have the know-how to build and configure them; the overhead of selling small clusters with an IBM/HP/DELL business model is such that they simply reject such requests. Our mission is to help all the scientist who could benefit to do so. One part of this mission is to develop a linux distro that targets this area. It would provide nice interfaces to configure, deploy and manage small clusters. System Installer is likely to be a core component of this project. We are interested in collaborating with the SI-Suite projects.
