FWIW we use rocks http://www.rocksclusters.org/wordpress/ on one of our clusters. It has the old/free OS version of SGE as an option which seems stable and perfectly usable even if it's missing the latest updates?
Rocks is based on CentOS - most recent release uses 5.4 - is not as active a project as one might hope, but it seems usable in our hands and is fairly easy to install and configure, particularly on a uniform backend.

Slightly off-topic, but for a new Galaxy installation - What would you recommend for a free (FOSS) Grid/Cluster management product ?
SGE is not free any more (Oracle Grid Engine is "90-days evaluation, binaries only" free, starting 6.2u6).
Ease of administration is top-priority, more than sophisticated scheduling policies (and of course it has to be well supported by Galaxy).
Any suggestions ? -gordon
