Slashdot Mirror
Ask Donald Becker
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.

Never been known to fail..."
Heh... Makes you wonder if there's a Walter Fagan out there somewhere... :)

"You spilled my egg... I needed that egg."
That's "a millennia," not "an millenia."
As long as we're being pedantic, that's "a millennium"; millennia is the plural form.
Ooh, a sarcasm detector. Oh, that's a real useful invention.
