Cool  I'll do the same.

Right now I have the main node running.  FC2 with a OpenSSI 1.2.2 (that
has some network drivers linked into it.)

after I have the cluster up and running, I'll start with the OpenAFS
client.

Ok cool. I'm going to do the same experiment very soon, except I'll use
Debian. I will let you know how it goes, and CC the mailing lists with
any useful results.

Regards,
Simeon.
