Hi Newton,

(I'm also Brazilian)

I have some articles at FUG-BR (FreeBSD Brazilian Users Group) site,
where I explain about some kinds of cluster, by example how to build a
bewoulf cluster to parallel processing with MPI and PVM.

I think that the correct point to start is know "What you want run on
this cluster" and "What kind of technology will distribute the work
over the cluster nodes".

If you explain better this, I can help you better...

About the links, I have two:
         How to build a Bewoulf cluster with FreeBSD

         mailto:danielbristot at gmail.com (I Use the google to reply on
many languages) ;)

Cheers
