Hi all -

So if I'm putting together a multi-node system but don't plan to go completely parallel (I mostly need many CPUs with shared file system access, not parallel computing) then do you think it's best to run all Ubuntu Desktop and manage user/disk access with NIC/NFS as normal? Or should I set this up as a Server/Client system?

My inclination is to go with standard desktop systems and manage computing job submission, etc., with something like Condor. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Todd
