Thanks for your help on my previous plea for help, gentlemen. I've
succeded installing Redhat 9 on two machines with dual boot (XP and Me).
I've also set up the seed for my home network configuring network cards
and TCP/IP protocols. Now they can ping each other with no problems. My
question is: am I too far from being able to do parallell programing on
them? i.e., use either MPICH or LAM to run elementary parallell codes?
Thanks again.
