Is it possible to set up a Redhat Enterprise Linux 5 "Beowulf" cluster  
and manage it via Spacewalk?

I know how to set up a cluster in Debian but I've never done this in  
Redhat. Would anyone have a URL or a good set of instructions on how  
this is done? Then manage the systems with Spacewalk?

Thanks!
