a cluster forum?

Has anyone seen a need for a forum specific to gentoo cluster computing? I'd certainly be interested in reading through posts specific to gentoo. Any chance for adding one if there isn't one, or pointing it out to me in the case that I may have missed it elsewhere.

Althought I've seen the openMosix and diskless node docs, etc..., under the admin docs section, I'm starting to get the idea that gentoo isn't common among clusters in the enterprise. I don't mean your home systems of Pentium 200MHz machines w/ a few nodes, etc... I mean $300k+ systems with quad-core, fiber interconnects, tons of RAM, etc... where the mfg's of these networks write drivers that "say" they require redhat or suse.

I have yet to run across gentoo installs, although I know there out there. Just curious, and looking for more specific gentoo HPCC chat and resources.

Tzuriel,

I don't recall seeing many threads about clustering at all. Forum creation depends on traffic.
The first step would be a sticky, probably in Kernel and Hardware. It that got busy, you may convince the admins to create a subforum.

There are people using Gentoo for clustering See the Scaling Up links from Gentoo UK 2006
