I was reading in the notes on the 'downloads' section of the website that OpenSSI is only good for Fedora, Debian, and Red Hat 9. Are those set in stone or would it run on other linux flavors as well? I have 3 small clusters that I've been using for a while for my software and none of them are of the supported flavors listed by OpenSSI. (I have OSX, RHE, and Gentoo). |

If you want to install OpenSSI on some other OS you have to port the OpenSSI changes to the other OS. The hard part is dealing with the cascading dependencies - The "official" OpenSSI kernel is based on 2.6.11, and so can't use a udev newer than 0.056 or so. I've ported the OpenSSI patches to 2.6.14 (with some known bugs), so we can use up to udev 0.80. The version of udev in Debian Lenny requires at least kernel 2.6.18. Many packages require a more modern udev - as I downgrade the Debian Lenny version from 0.125 to 0.80 I have to provide a few out of date packages to make Lenny work - see http://deb.openssi.org/openssi/dists/1.9.6-lenny-preview/extras If you want to try OpenSSI I seriously recommend using one of the supported distributions. Personally I think that the Debian version is the easiest to install, and the Debian Lenny based distribution is the most "up to date". If you want to get an idea what OpenSSI is like without messing up one of your working clusters try installing OpenSSI under a virtual monitor: KVM, QEMU, Xen (HVM only at the moment). (I'm writing this message from an OpenSSI cluster where some of the nodes are running in Xen HVM virtual machines. I do most of my testing in clusters built from QEMU virtual machines).
