or "up2date" from RH)  I'm familiar with RH up2date, which they
will now be charging a subscription  rate to use.  However,
what/who/where is "yup" and "update" as I would be  interested
in doing a massive update of a 64 (out of a soon 128) node group
of clusters.  >Finally, there is the Scyld solution, which does

to the limit.  What does Scyld use to get away from NFS.  I
understand that Scyld uses CDs  to boot/install their suite of
software, but how do they manage something  like a cluster-wide
/home directory?
