[Beowulf] help a newbie

[Peter Kjellström]

Hello,

Might I suggest that if you're building something from scratch with no legacy 
stuff to port, that you please use something less old/dead/antique/EOL'ed/...

Clustermatic5 was released in November 2004 if I remember correctly and as for 
rh8... It's so old that not even Fedora legacy supports it anymore.

Maybe you should try Clustermatic5 on Centos-4.1 (or Centos-3.5). That will 
give you something with working update streams and clustermatic on a 
redhat-ish dist.

regards,
 Peter
