Mandrake Announces Turn-Key Clustering Distribution

Posted by timothy on Wednesday October 30, 2002 @08:59AM from the clic-and-run dept.

joestar writes "According to their website, Mandrake and partners (Bull, INPG/INRIA...) have launched an 'easy-to-deploy easy-to-use Linux Clustering solution,' that has already been tested on a 40-node cluster. Of course, it's published under the GPL, comes with parallel applications, and is available for download as an ISO. It seems the project is financed by French government. It's great because I've always dreamed of having my own supercomputer at home."

I too have dreamed of having a 40-node cluster in my house. Wait, you mean it isn't easy to obtain 40 computers so that I can get a "supercomputer"? Shit.
