Hi all I'm starting a new project.
It is at the very beginning. Its goal is to operate a network of computers and make them to seem a single computer. From the point of view of the user. The targeted audience could be a office, but also a user at home. Well, it's not so rare to have at home a computer or two and a game console. Why not a small network? The real final goal, should be that a person should not any more buy two expensive pieces of hardware for the same purpose. As an example let's say I've got a PC with a powerful (expensive) cpu/motherboard/ram in order to operate quickly for my work. Now I want to have a PC for games (or any kind of graphic-intense app.) Of course I will buy a powerful 3d card for that PC. But, am I willing to buy a cheap cpu/motherboard/ram for it? Sure not. Why? Just because I cannot use the powerful CPU of my work pc _and_ the powerful Graphics Card of my game pc as it was a single machine! Examples might go on with every one of the points where a machine has to be performant: reliable disks, quietness, optycal storage... The results, I think, will be a open source distribution based on gnu/linux. I'm looking for any kind of collaboration, as joining the project, or giving hints, pointing to existant similar projects, pointing to failures of similar intents, and so on. Since I read this mailing list and the kind of people which build gnu/linux from scratch is, I think, the best one to give hints or feedback to a project like this, I'm looking for help here. _At_the_very_moment_ I've not a project website, or a tracker or similar things, so any comment should be in reply to these mailing lists. Thanks a lot. --Luca -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
