Ask Donald Becker

Posted by Roblimo on from the linux-luminaries dept.

This is a "needs no introduction" introduction, because Donald Becker is one of the people who has been most influential in making GNU/Linux a usable operating system, and is also one of the "fathers" of Beowulf and commodity supercomputing clusters in general. Usual Slashdot interview rules apply, plus a special one for this interview only: "What if we made a Beowulf cluster of these?" is not an appropriate question.

    this is the dumbest question I ever heard. Obviously I chose linux because BSD is a useless, archaic operating system. It's so dumbed down that even apple is using it now. Obviously I need the power of GNU/linux to do anything useful.
