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.
...why did you turn around and give him one anyway?
Yes, the cat has got my tongue.
if you made a beowolf cluster of petrified Natalie Portman with some hot grits down the pants and a link to goatse.cx? The people want to know.
What if we made a Beowulf cluster of those?
Invoicing, Time Tracking, Reporting
What if we made a Beowulf cluster out of the lack of Beowulf questions? Would that implode with the force of a thousand suns?
Boxers or briefs?
because i use intel cards in my boxes =)
but, kudos on the hard work
vodka, straight up, thank you!
Do you believe X-windows + Gnome & KDE are / can provide an easier gui than available on Windows and Mac OS?
If Hemos and Cmdr Taco and CowboyNeal were built out a beowulf cluster, then Natalie Portman might no longer be petrified, and she could eat the hot grits out of her pants, while clicking on links to goatse.cx.
Why did it take so long after 'Gaucho' for you and you cohort Walter Fagen to record another Steely Dan record?
While trying to get a RealTek 8139 card to work, I happened upon this. Has anything happened to resolve the situation since this was posted?
Good question. I'd also like to ask an additional question. What if we made a Beowulf cluster of Beowulf clusters?

Could you clear up exactly what step two is?
You even linked...
But really, I've been thinking this for years!
"Flyin' in just a sweet place,
Never been known to fail..."
Which is better:
a) A Beowulf cluster of cheese
OR...
b) Sex with a mare?
(Remember, the highest rated questions get asked. Mod this up up up!)
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.
thanks! i was worried no one would make a beowulf joke. the slashdot editor who prevented this was lame and had no sense of humor.
