Well great now I can get work to buy a copy of SuSE 6.4.! Thanks Ian I have here two SuSE Linux 6.1 clusters build with Dell PowerEdge 2300. The first cluster is a general purpose cluster with eight public nodes and one master node, each with dual PIII/450 and 1 GB DRAM, one 100 Mbit/s 3C905B-TX on switched Ethernet. The second cluster is a nine node Beowulf cluster, each node with single PIII/450 and 1 GB DRAM, one 100 Mbit/s 3C905B-TX on a public, switched Ethernet (for data) and an other 100 Mbit/s 3C905B-TX on a private 100 Mbit/s hub making the interconnection between the slave nodes and the master node. The good news for you is that I did not experience any problems whatsoever regarding the SuSE Linux 6.1 installation. I am running a DCHP server on the master nodes and DHCP clients on slave nodes. I replaced the 6.1's DHCP deliver with the official DHCP 2.0 version from ISC, merely because it is "official". The only trick there is that you have to restart the Yellow Pages (NIS) in your own DCHP start-hook in /etc once the IP-address is configured. Oh, and the second trick is that if you have 1 GB of memory you have to declare mem=960M on the LILO prompt of the installation floppy. I later replaced the kernel with 2.2.10 but the same procedure still applies if you want to get started. On the Beowulf cluster I am using PVM and LAM as they come with the SuSE 6.1. There is also a commercial version of a software called Clustor installed, from Active Tools, for parametric execution of non-parallelized programs on clustered environments. Works fine. Today, I will start the installation of SuSE 6.4 on a Dell PowerEdge 2450 slim-line series. I have nothing to report yet, but if somebody drop on this mail and is interested, I am happy to share my experience.

I did a search on google and apparently some people had trouble installing debian.
