[Systeminstaller-users] Compute Cluster Linux Distro

[David M. B. <da...@al...>]

Hi,
I'm a research assistant/programmer/system admin at Alexander Technology, a=
n=20
Australian tech startup with a close association with the Australian Nation=
al=20
University (ANU). Alexander Technology specialise in low-end High Performan=
ce=20
Computing (HPC) solutions, that is for budgets generally less than $100k.
In this market, the barriers to entry are relatively high. 90% of people wh=
o=20
need such systems do not have the know-how to build and configure them; the=
=20
overhead of selling small clusters with an IBM/HP/DELL business model is su=
ch=20
that they simply reject such requests.
Our mission is to help all the scientist who could benefit to do so.
One part of this mission is to develop a linux distro that targets this are=
a.=20
It would provide nice interfaces to configure, deploy and manage small=20
clusters.
System Installer is likely to be a core component of this project.
We are interested in collaborating with the SI-Suite projects.
Best regards,
David Michael Barr
