Hi,
Debian is good, I run that at home anyway.....if this works out that would be my base OS choice.

Hi Steven,
Extract from our internal wiki (this is for Debian based machines, so you
would need to swap a few of the commands around for Red Hat):
On all machines in the cluster:
Check that they have entries for each other in /etc/hosts
Execute on all machines in the cluster:
dpkg -i <most_recent_stable_version>
/etc/init.d/glusterd start
On ONE HOST ONLY (doesn't matter which), execute the following commands to
build a distribute/replicate volume:
gluster peer probe <host name of other box - repeat this command for
each box in the cluster other than the one executing the commands>
gluster volume create test-volume replica 2 transport tcp
host1-dns-name:/mnt/physical-storage host1-dns-name:/mnt/physical-storage
gluster volume start test-volume
On the hosts that you want to mount the volume on:
mkdir /mnt/gluster
mount -t glusterfs localhost:/test-volume /mnt/gluster-volume/
Cheers,
Thomas

Subject: setting up a "server"
Hi,
I have the install guide and the admin guide....nothing in either that I can
see from the contents pages tells me how to create the first "server" ( I
assume that is what I have to do?)
Is there another doc Im missing? or a good URL for a howto on a redhat based
machine?
Also from what I can see the "free" version is cli only?
and there is no virtual (vmware) appliance?
