Get some pictures! By the way, if you're interested in (non-Plan 9) supercomputers, there is a ~1000 node supercomputer running Linux at Pacific Northwest National Laboratories near Pasco, Washington. I'm not sure how easy it is to get in; security is tight. I got in to interview someone there--if you can get in and you're in the area, check it out. Pretty cool setup. Peace John Floren
