Light Weight Linux Distro for High Performance Clusters
I've been searching around online trying to find a good lightweight linux distro that I can use to create a high performance cluster. I've considered using DSL but I haven't looked into it's capabilities in this arena. I was wondering if any of you have recommendations for something that would require minimal resources and allow for a clustered environment.
I don't even care if it has a GUI. Command line is fine with me.
Nobody can tell you because you don't tell us what you want to achieve.
"Clustering" is an extremely vague term:
High Availability Clustering
Load Balancing Clustering
Compute Clustering
Database Clustering for resilience (kinda ties in with both HA and LB)
Distributed Storage/Processing (à la hadoop)
I'm writing my own application to run on the cluster. So yes it will support clustering whichever setup I use. I just have to have a cluster setup first.
