Re: [gentoo-user] the last two days
ext3 seems to work fine with ghost 7.5 now. Just make sure the partitions stay the same size. It Likes that. Ghost 7.5 is the large enterprise version ghost and Ghost 2003 is comparable to it.

Ghost doesn't play well with ext3 (i've heard they've fixed this now) and doesn't work with grub. we're using a modified gentoo livecd (modified ramdisk and added soem files to the iso9660) to write the partition table and a few partition images and mkfs on the big ones and mkswap, etc. considering we've built over 200 in two days, this would seem fairly obvious... :P -j -- Rev.

Depends on what you want to do: Theres openmosix, where you have multiple pc's exchanging jobs without the user taking notice. I think www.openmosix.org is your friend, there's also a openmisix kernel in gentoo... Then you can use MPI, which doesn't require a patched kernel, but still lets you run on programm on several pc's. And there are services for distributed computing like distcc. The simpliest solution. I once had a p60 and a p133 together as an openmosix-cluster but that was with a "tuned" suse6.2. Arnold -- Get my public-key from pgp.mit.edu or pgp.uni-mainz.de --- Hi, I am a .signature virus.

Re: [gentoo-user] the last two days
Without a doubt, distcc is the slickest piece of software on linux... bar none... If you're into doing a lot of compilations of code, distcc will give you good reason for giving life to old, unused, unwanted computers. Each box you plug into your network for distcc support, cuts the amount of compile time your projects take. Sure, there must be a point of diminishing returns, but where? That said, the resources at distcc.samba.org is all you need. Cheers...

Re: [gentoo-user] the last two days
I guess all I was looking/hoping for was some sort of FAQ or doc on distcc but I noticed http://distcc.samba.org has the perfect instructions (30 second!). I guess I was just thinking that someone (many people actually) have already done this for building Gentoo systems and that I could 'glean' their knowledge if there was a Gentoo specific faq...

Gentoo has many packages that support clustering in some way or another: cook, distcc, openldap (slapd/slurpd), jboss, etc. There is nothing Gentoo-specific about them as far as I know.

[gentoo-user] the last two days
i've spent working 11-hour shifts. i'm going to continue on a similar schedule for the next three or four days. we're building, burning-in, and shipping many hundreds of units, all of which i did the software for. they're all running gentoo. seeing 150 machines all on and running at once is quite a sight. knowing that they're running the coolest distro ever makes it that much cooler. i just wish we had more time before we ship them so i could make a cluster out of them heh. -j -- Rev.
