I have to agree. America is this weird mixture of technological sophistication and backwardness.
World leading technology, etc, then: wooden houses, imperial measurments, chewing tobacco.
We needed a cluster for load balancing a typical web application, with OpenSSI http://www.openssi.org/ being the chosen SSI system. Sadly, OpenSSI is far from a "working" solution, and needs quite a bit of massaging - especially if you have newer equipment.
The guys at Bullet Proof Linux have been professional, helpful and incredibly patient in their efforts to get us going. Worth every cent.
Any they did it all remotely via ssh from the other side of the planet...
