Sounds like you want to use Sun's Grid Engine. It does run under Linux so you don't have to be running Solaris to use it. However, their goal from what I understand is that Solaris 10 will be binary compatible with Linux.

Solaris should be just as compatible as it is now with linux.

Since sun appears to be doing an 'open source' release of solaris 10, how compatible is that with linux/RH linux? I was curious as to what different perspectives are regarding what Solaris offers .vs Linux... thanks bruce bedouglas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
