if there was an opportunity for clusters in high school, or secondary schools (which i'm in) it would be great, people like myself are actually being held back by the schools because we are far more advanced than all the others in our class's. not much can be done about this but in the UK because we sit IT and that hasn't really got much to do with actual hardware, software or anything that could include a beowulf.
in our school myself and one other in the year below even know what anything other than windows is... i find this astonishing as most web servers do not use windows, and we spend most of our IT lessons on the net. so yes clustering and the opportunities of clustering unused computers within schools and colleges do exist and there is a huge gap in the UK education for starting people towards any sort of clustering knowledge, but if it could be done those 1 to 10 of us might get the help we need to actually build and maintain a cluster. which i suppose would benefit the other students as they could run models through it. matt jones, 15, YR. 11 student at a normal comprehensive school. ps* can anyone advise me to a guide for starting a Beowulf, 'cos i haven't found one yet. _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
