Re: HA System Setup on linux

[Dirk Bartley <bartleyd2@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I got the following replies from Raj who has now joined our mailing
list.  The next step is to find out how many Klug members want to get 
involved.  I would be happy to volunteer my home as a place to set it
up, but I would be flexible as to where.  Then maybe we could schedule
a tuesday to demo it to the group.  Then gather the interested parties
for a couple of evenings the week or two before that to set it up.

Who is interested and which software should we use?  I thought we had
an evaluation copy of turbolinux which would last for 30 days or so.
I checked the BSWare page and it was not available there.  Does anyone
know if we have it?  I have left a message for Turbolinux and asked
them directly if this would be available.

After we know who wants to be involved then I think we should schedule
a Tuesday to demo it.  I understand Brenda is the person who is 
responsible for the schedule.  Is this correct?

All interested parties and anyone who has info about Turbolinux
or any other linux cluster please respond.
