What is it?
ClusterN is a Cluster Linux Distribution.
Project purpose is to help people building computing clusters HPC, based on GNU Linux operating system, with Beowulf technology. It's main advantage is easiness of installation and administration of a cluster farm. ClusterN uses standard LAN-connected PC's. Programmer doesn't have to worry about cluster software installation or propriety of server and node configuration.

In pratice (implementation)
ClusterN should be used most of all for complex and time-consuming computation. In particular it's useful for students participating in Distributed and Parallel Programing Courses.
History
ClusterN was created in 2004, as a final project in Andrzeja Dopiera�a's i Macieja Kalkowski's studies at Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Adam Mickiewicz University.
Recent works
Recently, some parts of project are in "rewrite from the beginning" state, while the others have only their bugs eliminated ;).
