Sorry to jump in both uninvited, and late...and,
to boot, with just so much theoretical hogwash;
I thought it might be of interest to the discussion
at hand.
I've been getting more interested in clustering.
With all the "hoopla" (as it were) about BSD clusters,
would one fast cluster do this task? (i.e., could
you build packages over MPI?)
Not that I have 'em, but my server farm is growing
faster than my hosting business... and I'm hoping
to get situated with a faster connection soon.
Heh, if it can work that way, maybe we should beg
from Matt or Brooks? :-D
