[Linux-cluster] Equivalent to RHCS?

[Frank Hellmann]

Hi!

If you look at projects like CentOS ( http://www.centos.org/ ) you will
find a complete free RedHat clone including the Cluster Suite as
precompiled packages. If you don't need any assistance and can live
without extra services this might be another route to go, instead of
compiling everything yourself.

Cheers,
Frank...

PS: I don't want to argue about the free/freedom/moral issues in using a
clone distribution. There's a thread at CentOS covering that to a good
extent:
