Hi Stephen,

Are you asking about AG1 or AG2?

For AG1, there is a Linux-only HOWTO in the AGDP at
     http://www.accessgrid.org/agdp/howto/linux-node.html
which describes a system operationally identical to the standard
Windows/Linux combined recipe. It was originally implemented using
Slackware but its not distribution dependent in any way that I'm aware
of; other sites have implemented with Redhat, even OpenBSD. There are
also assorted ramblings around this topic at
    http://www.ap-accessgrid.org.

For AG2 on Slackware, thats a work in progress. I think I've seen
reference on this list to a Debian implementation - maybe you could
check the list archive.
