Linux Magazin has a rather interesting article written by BASF researchers about the use of Linux as a research tool. It's nicely detailed, going into the software and hardware problems they encountered, their choice of compiler, and a performance comparison of 10 PCs with a parallel SGI box. They are happy with Linux and are looking forward to 2.2's 4-way and 8-way CPU support. The only problem with this article is that Babelfish chokes on it quite quickly.

Anonymous Coward writes "Greetings from CLOWN, the worlds largest (512-Node) Linux cluster. Theres an english page here. Take a look at the CLOWNs own website story. All 512 Nodes are busy preparing a movie right now (02:20 MET), and many international Television-Channels are carrying the "WDR Computernacht". Were on the air in China as well! " Nice to know it's up and running... More details on this page in German. Apparently the cluster uses Debian Linux.

Linux Magazin has an in in depth review of Infomix SE by a German University Professor, and IX, the professional German IT magzine, has a review of Oracle 8.05 under Linux. Indeed, IX's main theme this month is Linux Multimedia. In related news C'T reviews Caldera OpenLinux, while Caldera announces a new line of servers: the VBS line. update: O. was kind to tell me of the english translation of C'T's Caldera review.

Kristian Köhntopp writes "IGEL Systems, a german maker of embedded and thin client Linux systems, is promising DM 30.000 (approx. US $20.000) for the development of a functioning X11 RDP-client, German Linux Magazin reports. The resulting program will be made available under the GNU GPL. The english translation follows." Here is the english translation of the original German text:

Augsburg based IGEL GmbH, known for the Flash-Linux Thin Client Devices, promises a reward of DM 30.000 for the development of a functional X11 RDP-Client, which can access NT 4.0 Terminal Server Edition. The winning program will be made available under GPL. For interested developers joining into this effort could be interesting, but the complexity of this problem is hard to estimate because the RDP protocol is little known.

At Exponet '98 from Nov 24th to 26th in Düsseldorf you will have the chance to talk to IGEL directly about this challenge and you will have the chance to test-drive their new (linux-based) Etherterminals. Finally, IGEL is hiring - C, network and hardware knowledge required.
