Equalizer uses a slightly different terminology from Chromium.

crMotherShip == eqServer
crServer == render client (typically same as the application)

Equalizer also can launch the render clients automatically. All you
have to do is:

1) make sure you can ssh into all nodes without entering a password
2) have the application in the same directory on all nodes (e.g. a NFS share)
3) run the eqServer
4) run the application

You can also pre-launch the render clients - search for resident
render client on the website. On Win32 this is often easier than the
above setup.


HTH,

Stefan.
