Heya folks,

Can anyone point me in = the right direction of some manuals concerning the use of a beowulf = cluster style of computing setup, i'm so used to MPI installs and = limiting myself to terminals that being what it seems ooout-f-he-box = this already is setup with parallel computing in mind..

Also some examples would = be great of common current usages of such.
