I'm on the mailing list of this project and there was a parallel feature for urpmi that really rox !
This tool allow people to deploy RPMS to a group of linux hosts using an intelligent parallel copy.
How does it works: You create a group of hosts so the server can ask the nodes (using urpmi) to prepare for an update/install of packages. Each computer tell the server the packages it needs then the server copy in parallel (using ka-tools) the rpms on the nodes (that's very fast even for a hudge number of nodes).After that, nodes update their system using local rpms ! This feature seems to be designed for clusters but should be used by admins !
Another point of comparaison between urpmi & apt-get
The nodes should'nt be installed with SCSI because the duplication program (really fast 1Gb in less than 2min !) doesn't handle it but it seems to be fixed soon.
But you can have scsi on the server of the cluster !
But if you wan you can make installation using the normal installation on all node but it will take more time:-)
A mis-known feature of 9.0 is the parallel version of urpmi. This tool allow people to deploy RPMS to a group of linux hosts using an intelligent parallel copy. I've tried this option in cooker and it rocks !

It seems it depends on the country Here come some french examples : http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=en&q=1+Universi ty+Ave,+Lowell,+MA&ie=UTF8&z=18&ll=42.654781,-71.3 24556&spn=0.002253,0.006233&t=k&om=1

So does only US power plant are blurred ?
>SCSI Support
:-)
it will be integrated soon
>Easily reinstalled nodes
Also in CLIC, less than 2 min for reinstalling node(s)(1->200 in the same time)
>Pre-installed queue software
Idem, OpenPBS is installed and running
The maui scheduler will be integrated soon also
>brain dead admin tools
Basic parallel tools in CLIC but working fine
Including ka-tools that rox !
>No French Government
CLIC is GPL so it doesn't matter
Yes, pvm is also supported in this version

i'm following this project, and the SCSI port is running and will be available soon :-)
