BeOS Cluster Goes Live
April 1st, 2008 by Pawn Showers
In an attempt to keep the aging fleet of P133 desktop workstations in
working order, San Francisco's Fine Art & Design college opted to
install a BeOS cluster for their image rendering needs. IT manager
Whit Wheatly tells BeOS Journal:
"The cases for these older machines are sturdy enough that we just
stack them on the floor. Our 120 BeCluster computers not only supply
us with over 2Ghz of raw processing power, but they also heat several
classrooms! We're saving money on two fronts!"
BeOS clusters are just one of the many ways BeOS is improving the
technology landscape. Go BeOS! What a cluster!

News Flash: Linux Kernel 3.0 to include an on-the-go Expresso machine interface! Ok, maybe not, but Linux is definitely going mobile, from phones to e-readers. Find out more inside about Android, the Kindle 2, the Western Digital MyBook II, The Bug, and Indamixx (a portable recording studio). And if you've gone mobile and you been wanting more Emacs in your life then check out Conkeror.
To compliment the mobile we've got the stationary: parsing command line options with getopt, checking your Ruby code with metric_fu, and building a secure Squid proxy. How is this stationary you ask? What can we say? It's not. We just wanted to see if anybody actually read this part of the page :) .
All this and more, and all you have to do is get your hot sweaty hands on the latest copy of Linux Journal.
