no. That's yucky. Take a good hard look at what scyld.com has, or go to the source forge and check out the bproc project. We definitely don't need another ball of C/C++ + scripts. If you're going to do that then just get OSCAR and port it to freebsd. But if you want to do something new and interesting you could get a bproc-like system working on freebsd. We run two 128-node clusters here with this stuff, and one of them uses linuxbios, and I have to say it's a total change in the way we do clusters. Instant cluster boot, no local root disks (local /tmp of course!), upgrade all the software in < 1 minute, ... it's really nice. We distribute our stuff via the sourceforge, you can also try bitkeeper.com. Both are really nice. ron To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
