I'm hoping someone here has some real experience with clustered computing. A friend and I are trying to plan out a couple of clusters (8x PS3s, 8x Core2Quads, or one of each) as part of a small business (ad)venture.
My question to anyone who has experience (or research) is what distro should we run and what load management software for actual cluster performance?
I'm thinking Gentoo, since it's so powerful and customizable. Also I've been looking at SGE (Sun Grid Engine) since it's technically free (we'd probably purchase a support plan, though, since they are priced reasonably and it's nice to have backup).
Advice?
P.S. If you have advice or comments on the hardware choices please direct them here (General Hardware thread) to keep this thread on topic.
