Install and look at LAM to start.

  LAM - introduction to Local Area Multicomputer (LAM)
  http://www.lam-mpi.org/faq/

On FC1...
$ rpm -q --whatprovides /usr/bin/lamtrace
lam-6.5.9-3
$ rpm -q  --whatprovides /usr/bin/mpicc
lam-6.5.9-3
etc...

On FC2 the lam version is newer...
# rpm -qa lam
lam-7.0.3-6.4

As soon as the boxes are networked together you can begin.
