Hi guys-- I got something in the mail a few weeks ago, and maybe there is somebody out there who is interested. You can take a testdrive of a Compaq Alpha Beowulf cluster for free. load up some files and compile away. I just want to know if you can run a remote xsession on it and play quake. www.compaq.com/alphaserver/beowulftestdrive Now if Compaq would start building workstations with non-exotic, non-proprietary hardware, I would have an easier life. I spent last Friday beating my brains into one of these things. -- Michael J. Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2250 Patterson #25 Eugene, OR 97405 (541)346-7562
