Yes, of course! Sorry about that.

what do you want to the cluster to do?
MPI (Message Passing Interface) using OpenMPI perhaps and also the ability to run jobs
from the headnode in a queue.
how much management do you want to do?
Some, I guess, is only expected. But I don't fancy this becoming a full-time
vocation.
do you want to slap VM/virtual machines on each box?
I wasn't planning on this, but is there an advantage to slapping VMs on each box?
more data from you might get more useful comments!
Sorry again!
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
thanks

want to try my hand at making a cluster out of them using Fedora 21 or CentOS 7. Are there
any comprehensive documents someone could point me to? I am not sure what sort of cluster
(ROCKs/Beowulf, etc) to set up, and I am also looking at this as a learning experience, so
any suggestions in this regard would also be very helpful.
