Glad we stuck with debian. The intent when we began with deb was to develop a Cluster specific deb version, which we are still working on. (Not just FAI but fully optimized) I would love to know if anyone plans on testing out that MandrakeClustering, and if you could post your findings. I just switched from woody to drake 9.2 on my desktop, and am very happy so far with it. (Although I miss apt-get) So I would love to see it in some high computation environments Nox GenMicro Systems On Tue, 2003-11-04 at 12:31, Matt Temple wrote: > > > << snip >> > > > It's left us wondering is SuSe will be the only option... that is if > > the > > recently announced Novell acquisition doesn't fundamentally change > > their > > operations. > > > > There's a good deal of discussion around the web about this -- also > on the business sites.
