There is a local theoretical physicist I know of that is wanting to
build a cluster and probably base it on Linux.  I know he's
mentioned renting time on the machine to local Univ.s and others to
help pay for it.  He had some really good local sites reseached to
locate it, and his own project to run on it would be quite
revolutionary.  I'm just hoping that when the build comes on I can
get my hand dirty with setting up some highend hardware.<br>

<br>I wonder if we could pool every one on the KCLUG and<br>KULUA UGs and maybe some of the other UGs in the area,<br>how big of a cluster we could throw together, with<br>various mismatched systems. An interesting possibility
<br>would be to build a PCMAC cluster. That would be<br>challenging, but probably not very efficient. Although<br>might have some real world uses.<br><br><br>Brian JD<br><br>
