David,

    I asked the same question earlier this month.  My search for web sites
that support/discuss Beowulfing with FreeBSD has been fruitless up to this
point.

    I currently have a six mode network in my house that I will be
converting to FreeBSD 3.4 when my copy arrives early in the next century
;-)  (i.e., January 2000).  These are the computers my family and I use
for our daily activities: surfing the Web, school work, e-mail and similar
stuff.

    My plan is to setup a new segment with computers I will buy that
expressly for the purpose of setting up and running a Beowulf cluster.  I
am trying to get a copy of the Extreme Linux CD that describes how to
setup a Beowulf using Red Hat Linux v5.2.  I know this is an old version
of RH but I figure it is still useful information that can be used to
setup a Beowulf in general.  I have also been cruising the web for useful
sites and have listed some you may not have found.

    Hopefully a site devoted to Beowulfing with FreeBSD will soon be
available.  I am not sure why people don't seem to be using FreeBSD for
this task.  It's superior networking capabilities would seem to lend it
very well to such a task.

    Take care and I hope this has in some manner helped you.
