You are probably going to learn cluster-ing best from Red Hat Linux as they at present are the "Industry/Enterprise" Standard. They are considered by DoD to be the only "authorized" US Govt distrobution for Federal computers because of auditing and accounting purposes. Some may disagree. with this statement which is fine. Linux is about choice. They have develved the most into clustering, virtualization and stability for loads requr-ing massive scaling. Personally, I am surprised you are not using Solaris or even OpenBSD/FreeBSD for a server environment with those capabilities. OBSD is the most audited and security concious for servers in the world. gkey On Wed, May 9, 2012 at 5:00 PM, <tclug-list-request at mn-linux.org> wrote: > Send tclug-list mailing list submissions to > tclug-list at mn-linux.org > > To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit > http://mailman.mn-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list > or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to > tclug-list-request at mn-linux.org > > You can reach the person managing the list at > tclug-list-owner at mn-linux.org > > When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific > than "Re: Contents of tclug-list digest..." > > > Today's Topics: > > 1.
