At risk of being rude, the details of debian installations and configurations
should probably be moved onto debian lists. There are tons of archived
mailing lists no doubt answering your questions, as well as FAQs. And if
you're impatient, irc.debian.org #debian can work too.

I'd expect debian-oriented conversations here to cover topics related
to beowulf clusters instead.

For eg, since debian 2.2 doenst have glibc2.2, is it alot slower than
redhat 7? Has anyone tried out progeny debian? (It supposedly has
glibc2.2).
