Well, I was just thinking that if I could get mosix up and running
(along
with the power that it would/should allow, I could offer David or Chris
access for the 'big crunch' times. (shrug) I'm not a programmer (any longer)
so I would like to contribute..... if I can thru pure horsepower, so much
the better. :--)
And yes, Jens, if you REALLY need to be part of my cluster (ooooo! now
there's a lead-in!!), yer welcome to join. :--) But first, let me GET a

Regards, good wishes, damn .conf files anyhow!!
