<br><font size=2><tt>Red Hat Linux really doesn't include Beowulf support. Red Hat once put<br>
out a CD called 'Extreme Linux' that was Red Hat Linux 5.0 plus some<br>
Beowulf stuff.<br>
</tt></font>
<br><font size=2><tt>However, we currently ship a product called Scyld Beowulf. It is based<br>
off of Red Hat Linux with additions that make it great for setting up a<br>
Beowulf cluster. It will allow th ehead node to install out of the box.<br>
Setting up a slave node for our cluster can be as easy as just sticking<br>
a floppy disk in (and it will just use a ramdisk), or if you want to<br>
actually setup swap and some harddrive space (like /tmp), can take as<br>
long as 5 minutes. Our latest release is based off of Red Hat Linux 6.2<br>
with a 2.2.17 kernel. However, newer releases are always in the works.</tt></font>
