Archlinux and cluster

hello fellows, just a simple question:
How posible and feasible is to use archlinux in a cluster setup for parallel processing?

Re: Archlinux and cluster

Having no experience with actually doing this (yet ), I'd hazard a guess and say it would be just as possible and feasible as any other distribution that isn't specifically aimed at that goal -- ie, should be possible, without any strange issues.

Outside of obscure propitiary corp distros (that are possibly non existant?) there's no advantage between arch and another distro. Parallel processing is kernel work, so you can look into patches to really get some options.
