Hi Barak, Although I don't have any experience setting up a large cluster, I'm handy with setup and benchmarking, and could be willing to come help out gratis. I am a contract administrator and usually work 9-12 month contracts (currently in Florida). My contract will be ending Feb 18 and I was planning on taking some time off for rest and relaxation. It just happens that I think I would find setting up a large Debian cluster both resting and relaxing! So, if you need some help for a few days to a couple of weeks, and you plan on doing this late Feb or early March, I would love to come down and help out whoever you get to lead this.
