A friend has departed with his (old?) Compaq CL1850, which is a pentium III
cluster with various redundancies. It's a large piece of "iron", or in
Amateur Radio terms, a "boatanchor". The more it blows and glows, the better
for some of us that like a relic. Maybe it will help warm the room.
It will probably work fine with one of the nodes operating independently under
linux (my preferred O/S), but I have no idea if I can make it sing using both
nodes. So here I am. I'd like to bring it on as a development machine (GCC)
but use it of course for general purposes - running samba, file sharing, etc,
inside a private network.
Has anyone on this list had experiences (good/bad) with the CL1850? As a new
entrant into this area I'd appreciate knowing of any how to or other
resources that would help me along the way. Also I am curious if there will
be any complications should I add a processor to each node, making it a dual
processor 2 node cluster.
Many thanks!
