Not a HOWTO, but I think it is one of the best I have been on HPC clustering on FreeBSD: "Building a High-performance Computing Cluster Using FreeBSD" http://people.freebsd.org/~brooks/papers/bsdcon2003/ You can also read other papers related to the subject at: http://people.freebsd.org/~brooks/papers/ Rayson > > > Gerardo Paredes > > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Tired of spam?
