beowulf performance with MPI

[Tony Skjellum]

Folks,

Let me clarify even further before we waste more bandwidth on this,
and people get upset by Greg...

1) I was speaking about something that is totally free
2) My comments were directly aimed at the fact that free-to-free
   comparison suggests that people use the existing free software from us
   for TCP+Linux, rather than wait and hope that someone updates some
   other free software for them.

If anyone wants to debate my judgement in responding to Greg's comments,
please send me a note offline so that the rest of the group can get back
to business.

Thanks for your time.
Tony
