KestrelHPC [[ http://kestrelhpc.sourceforge.net/ | (homepage) ]] is a set of scripts, which alleviate a lot of the trouble dealing with creating a Beowulf cluster. The scripts assume that you have already installed Debian Lenny/5.0 .

After installation the scripts take care of some of the following:
* NAT
* DHCP
* installation of appropriate Debian packages
* netboot for the clients
* more fill here 

KestrelHPC is an augmentation of PelicanHPC [[ http://idea.uab.es/mcreel/ParallelKnoppix/| (homepage) ]], another set of scripts, which sit on top of Debian Lenny/5.0 Live. 

The main difference between KestrelHPC and PelicanHPC is that Kestrel is a permanent installation, on hard drive, while PelicanHPC is a ramfs-only Beowulf solution.
