For veteran Linux programmers, Spector explains how to tie a bunch of computer together with a network and get them all to work on a large problem that has been broken down into smaller pieces. NASA's 1994 Beowulf cluster for supercomputer performance was built in this way with Linux at the fraction of the cost for conventional approaches. The disk contains a version of Red Hat Linux 6.2 customized for clustering, ready to go. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
