We have been re-evaluating the choice of CentOS for our cluster, and would like
solicit comments on which freely available Linux flavor seems to be the best for
scientific computing, in terms of performance, stability, ease of
administration, and support for more commercial software (QM packages, Matlab,
etc.) and hardware (Qlogic Infiniband boards and driver software).
Besides CentOS, we are looking at Scientific Linux and Debian, but comments on
other distributions are welcome. If you (or someone in your group) can
provide some detailed remarks noting good or bad features of specific Linux
distributions, please send them to me and I will summarize to the list.
Thank you.
