Title: Re: [Oscar-users] add new nodes
I'm cc:ing the oscar-users list, please keep all responses in the list.
 
The following are answers to your questions:
 
1. Currently OSCAR does not support multiple distroes, in the very near future we would be able to.  So either Fedora Core 2 works, or you can rebuild your cluster with Fedora Core 3.
2. You can install a x86 OS on AMD Opteron, however, you will only be able to access max ~3GB of memory per process.  If this is not a concern for you, then you can try to install x86 OS.  Of course if you're starting from scratch, it is recommended that you install a x86_64 OS.
 
If Fedora Core 2 x86 works on your AMD dualcores, then this should be pretty straightforward.
 
Cheers,

Hi Bernard,

Thanks for the reply.

1. I've not tried FC2 on my AMD opteron. From the FC release notes, it
seems that it would work. Can I install FC3 on the new nodes if the
server is FC2?
2. I thought that I'd need x86_64 for the new nodes. Would x86 work on a
64-bit machine?

Thanks for any input.
