CLIC = Mandrake Cluster Distribution

[Philippe Augerat]

Hello,
as an answer to recent postings about "mpich distros" and "revamping our
beowulf", I would suggest to use the CLIC cluster distribution
(http://clic.mandrakesoft.com/index-en.html).
It includes the last mpich release and an efficient cloning toolbox
(http://ka-tools.sourceforge.net) which is our contribution to the CLIC
project.
CLIC is managed by a Linux distro maker, Mandrake, and thus aims at
gathering the best ideas from HPC developers & users.
The first release was introduced last month. It includes software like
MPICH, LAM, PVM, OpenPBS, Ganglia, pconsole, ka-run, clusterit, gexec,
pcp, blas, scalapack, vrjuggler, netjuggler, ...
