I am not sure what the HP setup is; can you provide a reference? In general, FreeBSD can be set up as a Beowulf style cluster or "supercomputer" just as well as Linux can. The only advantage I can think of that Linux has in this area, besides publicity and support from heavy weights like IBM and HP, is there is work being done on a parallel file system for Linux clusters. Although, an NAS or SAN system would also work and would be OS independent. -- Glenn Johnson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
