I think a short answer is: get a switch, plug all the boxes (throught the
ethernet ports on the motherboards) to the switch, install Ubuntu and use

Hi all!
I am thinking of build a small cluster, fit for my calculations ( I am a

Matt,
First, I don't understand how a "technoronin" can have a boss :-)
I only saw OS360 through Brook's Mythical Man Month; by the time I did
fortran on big iron it was VM/CMS. But if you have the hardware drawing

Take me correct, myself living outside of the big cities here into a
city which is surrounded by farmers who have been hit very hard,
i'm not taking a viewpoint on the subsidied exporting of Corn, Rice
and Wheat.
What i find bad is that these types of products which get produced a
lot cheap
Let me assume now the following situation. I have OpenMP-parallelized
application which have the number of processes equal to number of CPU
cores per server. And let me assume that this application uses not too
more virtual memory, so all the real memory used may be placed in RAM
of *one* node.

It is not about what we do in the EU and/or what happens in USA.
That is the typical short sighted view of politicians who decided on
the subsidy.
What matters is that the 'biofuel' of course does get imported from
South America and Africa and that it causes in THOSE countries a huge
