I don't think you are going to need a beowulf cluster for the kind of application you want to run (analyzing GIS data). If you want to guarantee availability of your GIS data or do loadbalancing (distribute the load to several servers) you should take a look at linux HA project: http://www.linux-ha.org/ Apache loadbalancing with mod_backhand: http://www.backhand.org/ApacheCon2001/US/backhand_course_notes.pdf and Oracle Real Application Clusters (RAC). -- Ben Vanhaeren System Administrator RF&M Dept SCK-CEN http://www.sckcen.be ---------- SCK-CEN Disclaimer --------- http://www.sckcen.be/emaildisclaimer.html
