Is there a beginners forum to subscribe to?
why a forum? there are tons of excellent resources on the web
that you can read to get up-to-speed. it's a lot more time-effective
for everyone if you pick up the background first.
I just purchased 4 used PIII computers and Red Hat 7.1
why the heck would you ever bother with RH 7.1?!?
and would like to begin learning about cluster
computing. Where should I start?
You could use something like Cluster Knoppix. Burn 4 copies of the
disk, fling them into the drives, fire up the computers, and go to town.
But another poster's suggestion go to ClusterMonkey is a good
one. There's some tutorials there on getting revved up on the first
go around. ClusterWorld magazine had some tutorials too (is it
online? I just have the paper copies lying around)
Burn a few disks, fire up that MPI POVray, etc.
