[Bioclusters] choosing a distributive management software

[Rayson Ho]

Both LSF and SGE can easily handle 250 nodes...

As Tim mentioned, LSF has some add-ons, but don't forget that Sun added
the accounting module and other nice stuff in SGE6.

Also want to mention that the N1 stack is nicely integrated, and is now
free:

Another advantage is that the SGE mailing list is popular and people
are helpful:
