Re: [gentoo-cluster] High-Availability Howto for Gentoo

[Hanni Ali]

Ok this is all good stuff.

This is the specific article I thought as a list we could turn into a
coherent doccument.

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Configure_Gentoo_Linux_for_Clustering

There is also the beginings of an MPI programming guide which although I'm
not so sure it's gentoo specific in any way it certanally would be auseful
thing to anyone setting up MPI etc.

http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_MPI_Programming

May would be fine I should hopefully have time in June to check through it
thouroughly if it's nearing completion.

I've made a tentative start unfortunatly I'm not sure how much we can take
directly from the current howto on the Gentoo page I don't know who own's
the copyright.

If we use the stub as a sandbox and perhaps the doccument that arises from
it we could call the "Gentoo Clustering Handbook".
