I've admined one such cluster. The stuff is all in the ports. And Beowulf is free, open source. Try PVM and MPICH. However, the real question here is: What do you want to do? Clustering does not really help a lot of things. You really need programs written with parallel computing in mind. www.beowulf.org -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
