I tried to get your Image, but Netscape only loads a bunch of random
characters. I would be very interested in something like this as I often
annoy my bosses about why they try to use Windows to run a network.

I know this is slightly off-topic, but, I just found an article and had a
look around Palms site and found this page:

I've been looking around the Beowulf sites for several days now. If you

Beowulf is used to enable several Linux boxes to behave as one
super-computer. That's the good news. The bad news is, this is only useful

I have been recommending Linux to many people sense I first found out about

The IDE controller is built-into the riser card from the motherboard with

I've looked through the FAQ's and didn't see this particular question
addressed, only Windows 95. I am planning to install Debian GNU/Linux 1.3
