[Cialug] Cluster

[Lee]

Purely for experience at the moment. But as with many of my projects, it
will relate to software development. I need a model, so I'm setting up a
couple Proliant 800s. This is new territory for me though and I've found a
lot of very general spec sheet style documents on the subject.

What sort of interconnect should I be looking for. Is a fast 10/100 switch
all I really need. Or is the speed between the two just that... A matter of
preferred speed?
