Hello,
What software is needed to build a Linux Cluster, & where can I obtain it???

You need to look into the beowulf software. I know that SuSE Professional has the necessary software as does MSC Linux. I use SuSE Professional personally, but that's because I can buy it in local stores for around $160USD.

The software for the actual cluster is part of Beowulf. As far as software that can benefit from the cluster depends on your application(s) needed. Perhaps more information would be needed...

You asked what software was needed - as I said, several distributions include the modules as well as how to obtain it. I only know from experience these two (SuSE and MSCLinux), others may have it, but I've only worked with these two. Perhaps you need to consult a LUG?
