Hi all,

I would like to set up a linux cluster with some pcs to run blast
searches against EST human database. First I will try to blast locally
in the master node but I would like also to make a blast server
available to the intranet. 

I have to learn a lot about linux clusters but now I don't know exactly
how to start to do this, shall I use beowulf or mosix or there are other
better alternatives? What do you think is the best system for doing that
task?

Thanks
