And the Debian users can say the same thing about Red Hat users. Or SUSE users. And if any still exist, the Slackware users could say the same thing about the both of them. But then the Slackware users could also point out that the first Linux distro was Slackware, so they are using the one true Linux distro... If you want to have a religious war about which distro to use, go somewhere else. I'm sure there are plenty of mailing lists and newsgroups where I'm sure that happens every day. This is a mailing list about beowulf clusters, and the last time I checked, you can create clusters using any Linux distribution you like, or even non-Linux operating systems, such as IRIX, Solaris, etc. -- Prentice _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
