[Dxspider-support] Best Linux for cluster?

[Bela Markus]

Hi David,

I would try a minimal MANDRAKE 8.2 w/o X. This was the best MANDRAKE 
system ever at its launch time. Do not remember that this was compiled 
for 486 or Pentium, but can check for you.

Other choise is a REDHAT 6.x with recompiled kernel, etc. for 486. 
However you can find Old Pentium boards for nothing today, so better to 
grab one instead of spending time get system up and running.

Regards... Bela, HA5DI
