Beowulf is a general name for clustering low-cost computers such as ["PCs"] to create inexpensive "supercomputing" capability. Many people use the Debian operating system on Beowulf clusters for several reasons, from the excellent system management tools to package availability.
There is a Debian Beowulf page at http://www.debian.org/ports/beowulf/ bla
There is also a debian-beowulf email list, with archives at http://lists.debian.org/debian-beowulf/
