I actual saw Oracle advertizing a Beowolf-like custering
system on the back page of Business Week.
Turn 64 PC's into Mainframe with Oracle.
Oracle is not free software, so I really don't care what they do. Frankly,
I tried Oracles early Linux releases, and the suffered all the problems every
other propertery software project does. It's a bitch to install, impossilbe
to work with, and behaved bizarrely.
