Hi,
I work in NGO. They are migrating from windows to Linux. They can't spend so much money on servers. They have around 50 PCs. So I want to setup cluster on 2-3 PCs or more than that for setting up server. I am excepted to get their collective output. So that it will be compatible with one server.
A cluster are available for for high availability, load balancing, disk space, parallel processing etc. What is it that you want the cluster to do? reply to DJ's questions and we will get a fix on what u want. From your description it seems that you require just nfs / samba for file sharing. DHCP and NFSboot for diskless booting and a proxy / firewall / mailserver for the internet. If you use local resources of the clients and stagger booting you can get away with puny servers. Look at drbl on sourceforge.
I heard that it can be done with Linux Clustering.
As per my presumptions u do not require clustering.
