Let me kick off with a few points, most likely many will enhance that with
more points
a) having a compiled driver into the kernel of the network card in question
this is by far the hardest part.
b) pdsh installed at all machines and naming of machines in a logical manner
c) diskless operation at nodes other than the masternode, using local disk
only as 'scratch'
d) because A usually goes wrong the capability to easily compile a vanilla
kernel inside the distribution
D is by far most important

Subject: [Beowulf] Ultimate cluster distro
I would like to make a small survey here to get
a rough idea of every essential detail in a cluster
distro, because I am thinking of writing some add-on
for our linux distribution to this end.
Best,
