Some question ... here it is all in /usr/local but if you've them in
some unusual place this ...
export C_INCLUDE_DIR=/opt/X11R6/include:/foo/bar/include
export LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/X11R6/lib:/foo/bar/lib
... can make life much easier before running configure.

Actually, you're just taking advantage of the fact that a lot of remote-use
services already exist for Unix. All that's required is a multitasking OS
with decent networking. The rest can be handled at the application layer. I've
used labs of both Windows NT and Mac workstations to build Infini-D and
Extreme 3D render farms, for instance, demonstrating that it doesn't even
have to be very well-implemented networking (NT) or multitasking (Mac OS). :)
It's not all that efficient, but it's not that inefficient either -
basically, it's worth the setup time. Unix just has the solid base to build
that sort of service a lot quicker and better, and the scheduling to do it
without crippling other services on the machine.
It's been a while since I looked at the Beowulf description, but I believe
it's essentially beefed-up networking combined with application-layer MPI. It
makes no claims to be MPP - really it's just equivalent to these render farms
or distributed.net, with considerably lessened latency (and thus finer
granularity) between nodes. The differences between all three approaches are
discussed on the original Beowulf project pages - they're mostly quantitative,
not qualitative.

Subject: Netscape & Freezing
Hello,
I noticed a strange bug in netscape 4.0x and 4.50/4.51:
Netscape freezes on some pages (e.g. http://www.freshmeat.net ), if
JavaScript is enabled *and* automatic image loading disabled (which is
quite annoying, because I usually have it disabled to reduce network
traffic -- and save some time).
So there are two working combinations:
(1) "everything" enabled as in the default settings, or
(2) disabled image loading and disabled JavaScript (preferred)
I really don't understand the link between the freezing, JavaScript and
delayed image loading (maybe a timing problem?).
I tried the libc-5 as well as the glibc version of netscape (the latter
is only available as 4.50). I have to systems: rh-5.1/2.0.33 kernel and
rh-5.2/2.0.36 kernel, both show identical behavior as described above.
Has anyone else noticed this strange behaviour?
Regards
A. Radermacher
PS.
Since netscape 4.5, insertion of bookmarks into nested folders does not
work anymore. (the mode indicated by the bar changes from "insert" to
"goto", if I step into folders)

There is a way to do this, but I don�t remember how exactly. I do
remember though that you�ve got to be careful when recompiling and
upgrading your kernel if you�re using the NT loader.
As an alternative, you could select DOS from the NT boot menu, and
boot Linux via Loadlin from there (it�s a bit clumsy, but still
better than booting from a floppy). Here�s the relevant part from
CONFIG.SYS:
SWITCHES=/F
[Menu]
MenuItem=Linux
MenuItem=DOS
MenuDefault=Linux,2
[Linux]
SHELL=D:\LOADLIN\LOADLIN.EXE @D:\LOADLIN\LOADLIN.CFG
[DOS]
...
If you don�t need DOS at all, just do this:
SWITCHES=/F
SHELL=D:\LOADLIN\LOADLIN.EXE @D:\LOADLIN\LOADLIN.CFG
HTH,
Thomas

As I understand it, Beowulf is not a distributed operating system in
this sense. The cluster acts as if it were one, massively parallel
machine. So you can't have users editing text while the other 98%
of the CPU time is used by another process. Instead, 100% of the
CPU time is available to the process and the process can use several
CPUs. (I could be wrong about that: This might be possible, but I've
never heard of a Beowulf cluster set up to let users do things like
text editing on the machines, it would make the use of many CPUs
less efficient given the way Beowulf works, and Beowulf was developed
to maximize that efficiency.) Also, the Beowulf clusters I know of
use MPI-based parallel processing. That puts control of the parallel
processor handling in the code, not the operating system. (To some extent:
The programs call MPI routines when communication between the processors
is required, and the high level details of using many processors are
in the code. The low level details of communication are built in to
the details of those MPI routines, rather than the code, and are
implementation specific.)

I gotta agree with you %100. I had to write some library software on
a Mac a year ago and it was like pulling teeth. The OS is clunky and
crashes almost all the time. A day didn't go by that I didn't crash
it out at least 5 times or so. Mac users have grown accustomed to
this and don't seem to find it a bother. The compiler software that I
had to use (metrowerks) was also a huge piece of junk. Every mac
programmer I talked to swears by it though. I've used compilers on
linux, windows 95/98/nt, old appleII's, etc... and I can tell you
without a doubt metrowerks code warrior is the worst compiler i've had
to use in AGES. I shudder at the thought of ever having to do
anything on the mac ever again.

My windows under AfterStep are very pretty.:) You hear all the time how

Floppies are useless in this day and age; 1.44 MB just doesn't cut it... can't
use'em except for reasons other than installing an OS. Right now, we should be at
the stage where we have something like Imation Superdisk, LS-120. I thought I saw
some other manufacturer that had a 150 MB ("better") floppy. So, as soon as we
can get the standard for floppies straightend out...
The drawbacks for LS-120 is we could possibly do better than 120 MB, although
that's pretty good for a floppy. Also LS-120 floppies are more expensive than
blank CDROM disks.
