[NTLUG:Discuss] Fw: [alg] LSU CAPITAL's Supercomputer- SuperMike Linux cluster

[Rick Matthews]

Cool!

It's too bad it didn't come with a spell checker, though:
"... was submitted to Top500.org for varification ..."
[It's OK, I can say that. LSU is my alma mater.]

512 nodes running RH 7.2; I'd bet it's a real event when a 
"RHN Errata Alert" comes in.
