Hi Jim,

Good to see you're still at JPL. I think it is just that IBM / HP and so
on have taken over HPC - the idea of Beowulf as something simple has 
gone in favour of large vendors.

It's always good to see the regulars here - this has been my favourite
source of information for nearly 30 years.

I just miss having my Extreme Linux CD - I don't know when it disappeared
but I do still have the Donald Becker book :)

All the very best, as ever,

Andy Cater
