[LUG] clusters RE last lecture message

["Paul Sutton" <psutton at uklinux.net>]

I have the article on Linux and titanic printed out somewhere, ( it has a
picture of a room full of computers on 3 side and a terminal in the middle
with a monitor, keyboard etc.

 I am currently trying to build a 486dx2/66 macine which should have about
32mb of main memory,  i also have the beowulf cd,  (this has now been
superceded by (scyld beowulf linux
2.0) www.linuxemporium.co.uk I would be willing to loan my beowulf cd and
computer if/when I get it working.  for the project.  It should
have a Dlink 10/100 network card
