   "...Clustering technology is designed to help companies leverage the
   power of interconnected computers by letting them serve as a single
   processing unit. The technology promises more powerful applications
   that provide a scalable, low-cost alternative to high-end, centralized
   servers, such as those sold by IBM.
   "The key is the clusters, because high-end computing is the focus of
   our company," said Staats. "Linux is the ideal operating system for the
   clustering environment."
   Growing Interest
   With major players like Oracle (Nasdaq: ORCL) and IBM (NYSE: IBM)
   looking at clustering technologies, Terra Soft is positioned for
   growth, especially because the Xserve has been well-received in the
   technical community.
   Staats said after three years of making Linux available for Apple
   computers, things are finally beginning to fall into place for Terra
   Soft.
   "There are now a large number of third-party solutions and products and
   vendors and service providers and clients that are jumping on the
   Yellow Dog [Linux] boat," said Staats.
   All About Science
   Terra Soft recently shipped version 2.3 of Yellow Dog Linux. The newest
   version offers the KDE desktop, which provides features like graphical
   user interface "translucency."
   Oh and "Now and then, for no good reason, life will haul off and knock
   a man flat," the father consoles his son. The 1957 Disney movie OLD
   YELLER is like that. For most of the film, it is a light hearted slice
   of life with scenes reminiscent of the old Disney nature documentaries.
   Toward the end, the movie takes a sharp turn, transforming it into a
   tragedy.
   For bill Gates I hope.
