Regarding our previous email about workstation/cluster, we have made our mind to purchase a dell cluster with a specific configuration based on our budget. For now, we were wondering which FREE operating system would you recommend? as well which FREE workload manager would you recommend? We are planning to run Gaussian and AMBER software at the current time. Thanks in advance. Sincerely; M. Ibrahim P.S. we would like to thank all those responded directly to our personal email on our previous email.
