Funny you should mention the Beowulf cluster...I just found out today my University is building an advanced CS Lab, which will be bound together with Beowulf. :oes the happy dance:: Finally, we'll even have Linux boxes in the labs! WOOOOOT!!
::Grins:: I may still be first year, but even I can appreciate that. :-)

check out http://www.beowulf.org. It's basically in very layman terms a bunch of computers set-up to act like one computer with multiple processors..
from the beowulf faq:
1. What's a Beowulf? [1999-05-13]
It's a kind of high-performance massively parallel computer built
primarily out of commodity hardware components, running a free-software
operating system like Linux or FreeBSD, interconnected by a private
high-speed network. It consists of a cluster of PCs or workstations
dedicated to running high-performance computing tasks. The nodes in
the cluster don't sit on people's desks; they are dedicated to running
cluster jobs. It is usually connected to the outside world through
only a single node.
Some Linux clusters are built for reliability instead of speed. These
are not Beowulfs.
I've noticed your in Canada.. You may want to check out SharcNet. It's very cool.. However the site seems to be down at the moment... You can however check out my college's, Fanshawe College, sharcnet page @ http://infotech.fanshawec.on.ca/SHARCNET/
Peace
PS.
Sorry for pulling your tutorial off topic gore

Very very good. The only thing that I would have done differently would be to tell N00bs to select menu install instead of expert. This way, they wont miss any dependencies and required packages (because the required ones have * next to them).
Overall, *very* nice work.

Good work by the way.

Thanks. I'll see about that Libranet one sooner than I intended and see if I can get it done in a while. Don't wanna post whore tutorials forum though.
Did you all like this step by step walk through? For Libranet I can do it again if you'd like.

Worked well for me.
I saw your review of Libranet in one of the other forums and after googling on it for a while I gave it a try. Doesn't have a GUI install, but who cares, it's still a good distro?!
It'd be nice to have a tutorial for reference though. Point the new converts in that direction...

For those of you with nvidia drivers.
NVIDIA has a unified driver architecture model; this means that one driver
set can be used with all supported NVIDIA graphics chips. Please see
Appendix A for a list of the NVIDIA graphics chips supported by the
current drivers.
Driver release 1.0-4349 introduced a new packaging
and installation mechanism, which greatly simplifies the
installation process. There is only a single file to download:
NVIDIA-Linux-x86-1.0-1.0-4496-pkg1.run. This contains
everything previously contained by the old NVIDIA_kernel and NVIDIA_GLX
packages.
Driver release 1.0-4496 introduces a package suffix ("-pkg#") to
the .run file. This is used to distinguish between packages containing
the same driver, but with different precompiled kernel interfaces.
If there is any confusion, just download the .run file with the largest
pkg number.
