Actually I'm interested in both, but purely academically. I like the idea of multiple failover protection as well as distributed processing for high workloads. I have no need for either. I've been studying up on the different solutions for freebsd (clusterit and pvm were all I saw) and was intrigued when you said you knew of more libs available for FreeBSD. Where would I ask what solution the gohan machines are using? They seem to be 8 machines clustered for building the FreeBSD ports. http://www.freebsd.org/internal/machines.html Tim > The clustering the Sprite offers seems to be what he could use, > but as you said it's been sort of dead for 6 years now. :( > > -- > -Alfred Perlstein - [bright@wintelcom.net|alfred@freebsd.org] > "I have the heart of a child; I keep it in a jar on my desk." > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
