Gentlemen, -thanks so much.
I actually remember walking to the colo yesterday to install Centos 5
and muttering to my co-worker "I wanted to use 4.4/4.5 but it seems
prone to breakage based on my efforts". -essentially i'd like to end up
being one of the first to generate a full step-by-step HOWTO/wiki entry
on getting this all operational using a Vsftpd daemon and iSCSI or Fibre
Channel solution.
I have three servers running the proper installation now, and seem to be
well on the way to establishing my first production Cluster.
