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.

    It must have been cool to be part of the Goddard Space Flight Center staff. Did you meet famous people while working there? Didn't this make you want to ditch IT, and become an astronaut yourself instead?

    Are you ever mistaken for a member of Steely Dan?
