RHEL 3 or RHEL 3AS????

Ever since i have started "WORKING" on my Linux cluster project, I have been facing all sorts of difficulties in moving forward with the work, startting frm finding the suitable linux distro=. From the manuals, Redhat is the prefered one and that too with a 2.4.X kernel as the 2.6 development of openMosix is stiil going on..(All da best to Moshe Bar n his team in SourceForge).Now that RHEL 3 supports SATA Im tryin my luck to download RHEL3 n using it .Truth is RHEL is nt free but someone did his best to provide a download path thru his FTP..

But we ran an openMosix cluster using 2 ClusterKnoppix CDs in the lab since it had a pre-compiled openMosix kernel (Thanx to Klaus Knopper)..But leme assure my self and my readers...Im nt done with it

When i wus bout to my system in December, i would have gone for a Intel one with a devent Graphics card to satisfy my Gamin needs .Bt i wus given a cool new config of ASUS A8N-VM Mobo wid an AMD64 3000+ + some goodies..I was happy wd it bt also had a doubt regarding its usefulnes wen it comes to studies n all....Many thngs that I coudl have done is now nt possible with the 64 bti proc. Im nt blaming mself..Its jus da fact that Im nt able to proceed with my linux ventures with the 64 bit limitations....DAMn me....

But i stll give a shot @ thngs and I swear that one day wen i get into a position when Im able to spend money from my pocket , I would buy a Intel Quad proc wid ASUS P5W or even Mobo.... I would make my Linux dream of Cluster happen and you can count on it(Atleast i would do it with old PCs Hehehe).....

I have to now start concentrating on some Scripting as it would prove to be handy in the coming years. Also i must try to read some theory in the SW Engng Concepts as i have to be more than 100% confident in tht...Hop everythign gona turn out good............
