3 Any two, three machines connected together is a cluster ;) As for the kernel, IIRC, the "vanilla kernel" directive is only for people attempting to build an openmosix cluster (doesn't seem to be your case).

My hardware is sixteen HP DL380 with 3.00GHz Xeon(do not laugh, I know that my cluster is too small for those you design and maintain). I read in gentoo hpc documentantion that I have to install the pure vanilla-sources but I have problem to decide the best version. 2.6.18.1 is out but I think that it' s not a good idea to install the latest kernel, so, I would like to tell me your opinion(eg, I think debian is using 2.6.8(too old!))
