> Hi,

> OS?

> Here is the question:
> 
> "I'm bulding a project for a cluster that consists on 64 machines running
> each 2x Dual Core AMD Opteron with 2GB of memory per core (8GB per machine).
> We already have everything else accounted for except for the software. We
> have serious doubts on what would be best for the OS and the cluster
> management software. The OS has to be open source. Please give me some
> advice on what you think you be the best performance solution for it. It
> doesn''t matter if it's not free. "

> Also, if anyone has any advice on cluster management software, please send
> it. I am trying to build a knowldgebase of different opinions on software.
