For something like that, I'd have thought Debian for stability, Slack for tradition or Gentoo for a truly custom build for the hardware. With the mention of Red Hat, I just assumed it would be Enterprise rather than the community version with all the R/D code that is tested there first. A BSD could be a good choice too. It must require code in the stability relm of real-time certification with that many co-processing machines.
Oh.. all this talk of clustering is making me want to collect PS2 and throw them on a rack with an old laptop cluster master. Hm.. maybe I'll start by booting every machine in the house off a clusterix liveCD and see if I can make the lights dim.
