[daip] AIPS on a linux cluster

Dear AIPS folks,

I am working on a huge VLBA data set, and the desktop I currently use is 
taking a long time to perform some AIPS tasks. My desktop is LINUX pc, 
with 2.8 GHz pentium 4 processor and 1 Gb memory.

Here at Arecibo, we have a LINUX cluster with 5  or so linux boxes. Each 
pc in the cluster has a dual 2.4 GHz processor and 2 Gb memory.

My question to you is if I can use AIPS on a linux cluster to shorten 
the data reduction time? If so, is there something specific that needs 
to be done in AIPS setup or any other place to use the cluster?

Thanks,
Emmanuel
