“How to Cheat and Win with
Clustering for Fun and Profit”

Synopsis:
Linux is the current king of the high performance clustering market.
We’ll give a short history of clustering with Linux and talk about ways
to build an enterprise class cluster on a shoestring budget.

GA with with his cat Lietenant and of course, his own baby cluster.
