Oracle's GPL Linux Firewire Clustering

Smoking writes "It seems that Oracle just released libraries to allow low cost Linux clustering solutions using firewire... Aside from the coolness factor (imagine a beowulf cluster of DV cameras...) it's quite new for Oracle to release GPL software. They also seem to include really useful tools for NIC failover, Wizard building framework and integration of the cluster into Gnome (via a gnomevfs plugin)."

This comes very close to sliced bread on the scale of usefulness.

Thanks Larry

That's only in Kabul.

In the smaller, less developed cities, they're stuck with Vic-20s, and the 22 column limit associated with that hardware.
