I think the people who jabber about clusters need a reality check. At BSDCon, Hubert Feyrer gave a talk "Clustering NetBSD". http://2002.eurobsdcon.org/papers/feyrer.pdf Folks, go and read it. Yes, it's boring. That's the point. Although this was a particular ad-hoc project, I think it is representative in many ways. Clusters aren't general purpose tools. They can be used to develop highly specific solutions to unique problems of a certain type. And there are no solutions out of the box. If you have an actual use for a cluster, you can also set one up. -- Christian "naddy" Weisgerber naddy@mips.inka.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
