    Sheesh, I'm sitting here with a 64 Way and two 32-way boxes just waiting for decent to run on them.

    Does this mean that FINALLY I can shift Quake Server off the clustered S80s in the basement ?

    Such leaps and bounds, ah yes. A quote from one of the followups to the article:
    These machines have been in production since something like 1996 and were EOL'd around 2001. i.e. this is not just 5 years old, its entire product line is 2 or 3 years dead.
    Yup, Linux, so up to date it's just beginning to suport hardware that hasn't been built for 2 years.

    Is that occasionally there are headlines like this that I can read, re-read, and still have no clue what the article's actually about. I don't know what ANY of that stuff means.

      The meaning of the article is quite simple: Not only is the 2.5 version of the Linux kernel on the way, it is so much on the way that it is on 32-way.

    I really hope this was a joke. If not, try to find a meaning of the sentence "sort out individual threads" which doesn't imply a missing feature of his mail client, there really is one.
