MandrakeClustering Shows Off At ISC2003

joestar writes "Just released today at ISC2003, Germany, is "MandrakeClustering", a high-performance computing Linux distribution/solution, which sounds interesting, at least in the PR: Pentium support with optimizations made with the Intel compiler, 64-bit Opteron support (with in this case, up to 16 GB of RAM for each cluster's node!), parallelized URPMI (Mandrake's apt-get) and other dedicated tools. This product is based on a one-year research project "CLIC" involving MandrakeSoft and partners. A good snapshot of the product running a 3D real-time demo is available here. The interesting point now: MandrakeClustering's goal is to provide a system which is easy to deploy, easy to administer and use. Well... Mum would certainly love to play Quake with this toy."

This is the problem with Linux

[FatAssBastard]

You have all these (admittedly talented) programmers spending all this
time on worthless projects when they should be spending time on
something worthwhile, like a consistent user interface, easy OS
install, or a decent media player.

Until the Linux Community learns this very important lesson, Linux will
continue to be relegated to second class citizen status to superior OS's
like Windows XP or MacOS X.

Hahahah. Mandrake F4gs

Re:openmosix easier

[Apostata]

You sound like a religious nut.

You're diverting attention from a Mandrake story with openmosix-plugs, and then you get indignant that the person who brings up a reasonable response "missed the whole point of using the [openmosix] CD".

Neither you nor openmosix is the subject here - the subject is Mandrake. The responder was on-topic.
