Need help with parallel virtual machine software


ok, I can't get this to work at all and all the documentation on the home site isn't very clear. Can someone spoon feed me exactly what I need to do to setup a small cluster? I'm using all win32 machines.

Ok, first switch all your boxen to *nix...
Seriously, you can do it in windows, but it's a real PITA compared to Unix.

Anyway, the first thing you need to do is get an rsh (remote shell) program running. This will let you execute programs on a remote computer. It's no use mucking around with PVM if this isn't working first.

A few years back (the last time I messed around with PVM in windows) the only windows rsh software was commercial. Maybe there is freeware now, you'll have to look.

Yeah the more I look into it, the more of a hackjob the win32 version of PVM is, but I have very little working knowledge in Linux. I looked around for some rsh-d packages but they are all fairly expensive.

Ok, but thanks for the pointers, it helps me muddle my way through this.
