that the difference between cluster and parallel may be a matter of
semantics, often people refer to them as the same thing.

WooHoo!  I will be back by then...  I will share pictures of Linux World. 
(if I take some that is).  This has been a very interesting conference. 
Much, much different from a Usenix type of conference..
