Rocks Cluster Distribution
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Not to be confused with ROCK Linux.
Rocks Cluster Distribution is a Linux distribution intended for computer clusters. Rocks is based on CentOS, but uses a modified anaconda installer that simplifies mass installation onto many computers. Installations can be customized with additional software packages at install-time by using special user-supplied CDs (called "Rolls"). Over a dozen Rolls have been created, including the SGE roll, the Condor roll, and the Java roll.
