Since the install thing isn't going so well, try
www.linuxquestions.org . They have a forum that is OS speciific. So you will be in a forum where everyone works exclusively with Redhat, or just about any other Linux Flavor you might have.

Don't confuse linux with GUI. It isn't like windows where they are one and the same. A GUI runs under linux. It is not needed (I perfer the commmand line anyway)

They might have the X Windows system included with them, but it's gonna be very outdated. If you want to use the GUI exclusively, I'd suggest you download a newer version of those distros.
Also, I recommend that you become familiar with the command line eventually. It really makes Linux a much more powerful OS once you begin to use it. HTH |

Mandrake 10, SuSE 9.1, and Linspire are the ones u want, if u want to start linux. Mandrake comes free downloadable, SuSE 9.1, is downloadable possible, but it doesn't come with a couple of things, thatll make your life in linux a whole lot easier. (ie. YAST) Linspire you gota buy, but its the least hardest to use .(but no by much, realy)

YaST is SuSE's package management system, stands for Yet Another Setup Tool.

YaST just became open source when novell bought SUSE, so it might start turning up in other distros. I'm a control freak and have to view every configutation file even if setup tools like YaST do a decent job.
To answer the original question, all of those redhat version should come with a GUI and webserving software... from the stone age. If you can conviently aquire a newer release of any linux distribution i recommend doing so. And dont fear the command line. The console is king. It does everything GUIs do but faster and more efficiently in most cases. |

I believe based on another post of Enhanced, he needs to do one of these versions as part of a project.

yes i need to get some kind of linux OS to make a cluster. i'm having a friend download SuSE 7.3 from linuxiso.org. i also had him download knoppix for me. for what i want to do i think the console would be best (having no monitor or anything hooked up to the pcs while running) but i have 100% no idea what so ever of how to even start using it!!! i'm only 17, my first pc came with win98 on it, so i've grown up with GUI.
my plan is to get this thing working with GUI then learn the command line and switch it over. anyone want to point me in the right direction? |

Hi,
Yeah, you'll definitely want to become familiar with the command line if you are building a cluster. I'm in the process of completing one and only one of the 13 machines I'm using has a GUI installed. All the others are command line only. Remember, you want to have as man resources available as possible for the actual computation. How fast are these computers you are going to be working with? Also, try to read up on NFS. You might be using it on your cluster depending on what architecture you go with. HTH |

yeah i want to learn it, but where do i start? i posted on your thread in the trading post. the computers will range from 75mhz to 500mhz if i can get it working. the host will be a P4 2GHz+ hopfully if i can OC that far.
what is NFS and what do you mean depending on architecture? |

Hi,
There are different distributed computing architectrures. There's PVM (Parralel Virtual Machine) and MPI (Message Passing Interface) which are two of the main ones. NFS stands for Network File System. Here are a couple links to check out: http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/mpi/ http://www.csm.ornl.gov/pvm/pvm_home.html HTH |

ok well i think i'm going to use PVM. is this a good idea? i think this was one of the things i looked into awhile back when this project first started. i made a mental note but..... well my mental note don't last long lol.
i downloaded the win32 installsheild version from http://www.netlib.org/pvm3/win32/ is this what i want? Last edited by enhanced08; 06-19-2004 at 02:09 PM. |
