Linux on a MacBook Pro is an x86 OS. Linux on the PS3 is a Power arch OS. It is very challenging to run cross-arch binaries in a tightly coupled cluster. You may consider a grid (distributed cluster) concept, but this will entertain a bit of configuration. Yes, there will be plenty of issues :( kai _______________________________________________ yellowdog-newbie mailing list [email protected] http://lists.terrasoftsolutions.com/mailman/listinfo/yellowdog-newbie
