[Beowulf] best linux distribution

[Gerry Creager]

<NOMEX>
Fedora core 6 is where I'd start today.  SuSE 10.x is a very good second 
choice.  We've also tried ROCKS and haven't been too impressed.  ROCKS 
installs easily and replicates to the nodes but FC6 and kickstart is 
just too easy and offers a bit more usability in our experience
