I am now converting six FreeBSD machines to a linux cluster. In my architecture, I've been using another box to control the jobs; really, I am not doing lot's of MPI math or other things more commonly associated with cluster systems. Just running some C programs. Also, not sure how much help I can be; as I am not very up on the latest Linux stuff (I used Linux in '90 or '91 until '95.) It's changed a lot! My experience was with Slackware -- you can see how dated I am. But I have a tool I wrote in the '80s and until '95 or so, called aiTRAN; among other things I've used it for is to convert source code for running in a parallel environment -- it's so much easier to do this stuff in Linux as opposed to FreeBSD!!. No comparison. One thing I'd like to do is connect two sites, the other side is run by a large company, a phhooonnnneeeee company which has given me access to a cluster of 128 Linux box's. I don't know how to do this. Anyone? --jg ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dwight A.
