sun grid engine?

[Philippe Blaise - GRENOBLE]

Oh Oh... Tim it's very interesting (I'm a grid beginner).
The machines, what are they ? What I want under unix, linux, windows ?
And everything where I can get a telnet/ssh access and a mpich like installed
?

(If It's a local cluster I understand that SGE is no more than a good NQS).

Sorry If my question is a little bit naive.
