By far the most useful group for this sort of thing is the Beowulf 
Mailing list (beowulf at beowulf.org). Subscribe to it and be polite as you 
ask your questions. You might also try to search the archives. You can 
probably get the answers to your questions right there.

If you need answers faster then drop me an email. HPC linux clusters is 
my specialty and I deal with this stuff every day.
