I do have to weigh in that in the "real" HPC world, either modules or |
5 |
softenv out of ANL [ http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/systems/software/msys/ ] |

are the way to do things. |

I understand Donnie's statement and do thing that the "Gentoo way" needs to |
9 |
be solved as well. However, any cluster solution really should include |
10 |
either modules or softenv. |
