[ale] Linux Cluster Server Room

[Bob Toxen]

Dow,

You might contact ALE's own Walter Sams as his business is Air Conditioning:

     wsams at southernlink.net
     SamsCo Htg. & Air, Inc.
     706-783-4662

As for fire protection, for computer rooms Halon is the way to go.  If Walter
doesn't have contacts in that area, try the Yellow Pages under
"computer room" or "Fire"

I could assist with the heat output computations.
