I don't have the time to learn such a system in particular because these
systems seem to be designed with distributed computing in mind which seems
to be overkill to manage limited resources on a singel machine.

I wrote "there are no traditional batch processing systems for Linux" and I
think this is true as far as I can tell. Also a few old handed Unix people
confirmed this.

But anyway, you are welcome to help out with the Installation!

This is exactly what I thought.
