I had a friend who was looking to get me into Base OS Group at Sequent before I came here (Hey is Kevin Smallwood listening here???) But I have no idea since then. IMHO single image machines are more usefull to the majority of the people doing clustering. I wish we could all afford to be about to buy 1000 machines, but I think this is out of the question. The plan to publish a direction paper for a single image cluster is still on target for the end of the year.
