Just because google does it, does not mean it's right. If you are going to make a suggestion, please
make it an educated one. For example:

"I prefer RHEL because of it's mature GFS, and CMAN support which is Red Hat's implementation of 
global file system and cluster computing."

Or you could even sound funny saying it but add valuable input nevertheless. Some thing like:

"I think SLES is the shizaooo for clustering because of it's continued support of Pacemaker Cluster, DRBD,
GFS, OCFS2 etc...."

Just saying I like something because google does, is not valuable input. To be honest, it's just as a waste of time
to read as it is to write.

Debian, and Ubuntu are desktop platforms. Yes they are widely used in production server environments (the slow
ones that is) however, our last experience with Debian squeeze as a whole (ie, source tree, reliability, performance),
was inhospitable. Dare I say, it was making as nauseated as we would be behind a Windows machine...

That being said, the OP did not specify the type of cluster. Is he referring to HPLC (Oscar, Rocks, MPI) or Failover
cluster for certain services such as HTTP, SSH etc.. as is provided by CMAN, Pacemaker.


What has worked really solid for us due to many factors, and the idea of being able to build everything from the ground up
is Gentoo, with Pacemaker, GFS, and DRBD. This is for our failover system.

Kind Regards,

Nick from Toronto.

Maybe it's intresting, although I prefer to use red hat, suse or ubuntu in datacenter as Google. Slackware servers're not very poppular here

Gentoo makes the best server os because it's a custom built os where the admin knows each and every aspect of the os. Security wise, there are no unwanted or unused stuff, so lesser bugs to deal with.

Clustering, well, you can do that using glusterfs
