About

Rocks is an open source Linux cluster distribution that enables end users to easily build computational clusters, grid endpoints, and visualization tiled-display walls. Since May 2000, the Rocks group has been addressing the difficulties of deploying manageable clusters with the goal of making clusters easy to deploy, manage, upgrade, and scale. The latest update, Rocks 7.0, codenamed Manzanita, is a 64-bit-only release based upon CentOS 7.4, with all updates applied as of December 1, 2017. Rocks include many tools, such as Message Passing Interface (MPI), which are integral components that make a group of computers into a cluster. Installations can be customized with additional software packages at install time by using special user-supplied CDs. The Spectre/Meltdown security vulnerabilities affect (nearly) all hardware and are addressed by OS updates.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • It installs? Maybe it's easy if you installed all of it, so that it automatically takes you to the GUI with the first boot. I did the minimal install OS on a DVD.

Cons

  • If you get the base OS version, you can't do squat. It's all locked down, even denying permissions to root. And support is very slim compared to Slackware. On Slackware's page, it has tons of basics and step by step instructions for doing things. It's fully operating, running dhclient to get an IP address, while you try that with Rocky, it says command not found, as it does on almost everything. Don't try Xorg -config because, guess what? Command not found. It's raring to go with Slackware, it all WORKS. And I know because I've been using it for more than 15 years. I suppose if you loaded All of Rocky it would work, the full install. But it's apparently ALL or NOTHING with Rocky Linux.
