[slurm-users] Slurm Installation on different Unix environment

[Paul Edmon]

We build from source.  The build dependencies would be munge.  We just 
use the provided slurm.spec file (since we are building for CentOS).  We 
then distribute the rpms.

You can build slurm from autotools as well which permits a more generic 
build and which you can then repackage into other packaging systems.  So 
basically you would need to generate a deb if you wanted to use apt.

Anyways assuming that you can get it built the internode communications 
hierarchy should be fine as that is hardware and OS agnostic.
