The EXTREME LINUX disk was VERY dated. Some of the
modifications that it made were kept, but many were
obsoleted by changes in the basic kernel structure.
You would be well advised NOT to use the Extreme
Linux disk at this point.
However, if you want to talk about Beowulfs, I would
suggest that
Hello,
Does anyone know what happened to the Extreme Linux
(Beowolf spinoff) product that Redhat used to sell on their
website? I no longer see it there. Did it become part of
the RedHat package, and if so with what version and
what is the rpm name? Or part of Powertools or the
Applications
I've just "inherited" a few 386 and 486 boxes, so I thought I'd play w/
clustering some...
Is extreme linux downloadable off the net? I know that beowulf has
recently been taken down and they are trying to get it back up, but what
about redhat, can they still distribute?

Hi
Let's say I have two computers with the exact same
hardware configuration like this:
166MHz pentium
32 MB RAM
2 MB graphics card with a 250 MHz RamDac
If I connect them and install extreme linux would it
then be the same as having a:
332MHz pentium
64 MB RAM
4 MB graphics card with

Well, are you looking for p100 performance as in integer or floating
point? I'd assume floating point, so you could easily need 15 or 20
(guessing here). But, make sure you know you have to use special apps to
"spread" them accross many computers, you can't just run quake on 50 386's
:-)

I have been looking at construsting a beowolf system for a while now, based
on 386 bits (because they are chep) has anybody any experience or

A Cray is highly overrated. It does not perform at all well if your
codes is not vectorized easily. Newer Crays are

I may be spitting into the wind here but I think this explanation is wrong.
I belive that Extreme Linux would best be described with a model of two
pentium computers setting together acting as one CPU, Hard drive, memory.
So say if you had two Pentium II 400's with 1 Gig of ram (my Linux
Nope, this is like you have a task that you would ordinarily handoff to a
supercomputer such as a Cray. If you can break the computational problem
down into small pieces, then you have each of the processors do their
piece of the problem giving supercomputer performance at a much lower
price. W

Extreme Linux is for two or more computers. It allows you to setup these
computers so that they almost act as one. Extreme Linux is clustering
software which allows you to make your systems more readily available.
Which is a very good thing for mission critical applications. A simple
model

Hi all !
I have just been to rehat's site and read about extreme linux. Unfortunatly I
didn't understand exactly what it can be used for, so can anyone here
give me a down-to-earth explaination of it. Also, would it be of any use
on a single-user machine ?
Thanks !
