We're looking at building a new workstation cluster out of 486's, and will be using four machines -- two Linux, two 386BSD -- for the first half of the summer to see what we can get running on each system and how well each system meets our needs for a public access cluster. While most of you out there won't be using your machines for public access, we'll probably learn a few things that will apply in the general case. If you're interested in seeing the results when they come out in June or July, send me mail. Don't bother to post, because I'm putting this thread in my kill file even as I type :-) Bill -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Dueber wdueber@whale.cs.indiana.edu IU Computer Science Graduate Slug I don't need none of *your* jujubees, baby, gonna get a box of my own. ------------------------------------------------------------------------
