Thanks for the Reply!
I was planning on experimenting with a Parallel Network and discovered DrakeConnect on Mandriva. I'm planning on building a Network for a plethora of reasons that includes Parallel and Ethernet. I was wondering if there was a version of it available for other distros. I might try to find source code for DrakeTools I guess and build it on CentOS or Fedora to do something interesting.
drakconnect is a perl script on Magia. If you have a Mandriva system, look at /usr/sbin/ and you will find the script files that run MCC.
I have no idea if any of this would, or could be ported to another distro. This is because each distros config is done differently. Some are very similar, like the .deb's ( Debain, Ubuntu, Mint ).
No reason why you can not run perl scripts on any of them though.
