i think i agree with ron here. two or three machines is sorta fun,
but when it gets above 50 it gets tricky and beyond that ...
lunix is unmanageable once you get to 50 machines, unless you
a) like a total debacle or b) have spent a long time beating
them into shape.
lunix is unmanageable. the decentralisation that occurred
during the '80s was a colossal failure, but those boys
haven't learnt that yet.
plan 9 fixed all this by centralising the compute/disk resources
and moving back to the 'terminal model' [no disk, no fan] and
gluing it all together with a simple, connection based, coherent,
f/s protocol.
