		<title>Ubuntu to you too! Verdict&#8230;good to go.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[So, I decided to quit pirating operating systems and installed Ubuntu on a slightly more modern laptop. It rocks. Hands down. It found all the funky parts of the hardware, including a slightly non-standard Cisco WiFi card. No problems at all. Now I am in the middle of finding fun games and stuff to fiddle [...]]]></description>

		<title>DCC and SystemImager</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I have installed Debian Sarge, and the DCC components. I&#8217;ve gotten through most of the setup instructions for DCC.I&#8217;m at step 3.4 Deploying the image on work nodes.dcc_discovernode worked well enough. But now I&#8217;m trying to get the node to acquire the boot image. And this is proving to be challenging. mkautoinstalldiskette has been renamed to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cluster pt 5. Next steps &#38; challenges&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[First off, I need to shake the hands of the support folks at DCC. They have been responsive, and helpful - even to a hobbyist.
I got Debian 4.0 (etch) installed, and started to configure it to use the DCC packages, things were not going as smoothly as they could have. I emailed support at DCC, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cluster pt 4. Which Distro, cont&#8217;d.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I dropped a PC on my toe yesterday. I have been rooting through all my carcasses of computers, looking for more and better RAM for the cluster nodes. A pc slipped out of my hands while I was lifting it&#8230;
So far, I have 512MB in the master node. Once I found that much, I tried [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cluster pt 3. rocksclusters.org</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well, I did a google for &#8216;Debian Clustering&#8217; and I found the link in the previous post to the Debian DCC package.
I downloaded that, and am installing it as we speak. In looking at the search results, I clicked the second link, and got to the beowulf.org site, which had an article about using DCC, [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cluster pt 2. The Distro</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We all know that outside of the hardware, the OS is the most important component of a well behaved system. But this issue becomes more complex when you start to build a cluster environment because maintenance becomes more of a hassle.
The reason for this is that so much is shared in a clustered environment. Lets [...]]]></description>

		<title>Cluster pt 1. Hardware</title>
		<description><![CDATA[For many years I wanted to have a cluster. Mostly for the challenge of setting it up, but also to learn about what kinds of applications work best in a clustered environment.I started with a group of identical 486 boxes purchased from Laclede Computer Trading. These were adequate machines to learn to build with, but [...]]]></description>

		<title>Manatee Cam (I think)</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I found this neat thing&#8230;a screensaver that shows live images of network surveillance cameras worldwide.
Not working on a Mac at the moment, I have to wait till the Linux version is out&#8230;though if I really felt like it I could probably port it. Nah.
Anyway, the search string that they use to find the source images [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I get home, and I don&#8217;t wanna watch TV. It&#8217;s only a bit chilly out, its temperate, and verry humid.These days, I&#8217;ve got projects that cant seem to finish on time. It&#8217;s really starting to get annoying, and i want to start yelling at programmers, but that wouldn&#8217;t help the situation.
It&#8217;s autumn, and this is [...]]]></description>
