A cluster is above the OS because most cluster people don't know how
to do OS work. Hence most cluster software follows basic patterns
first set in 1991. That is no exaggeration.
For cluster work that was done in the OS, see any clustermatic
publication from minnich, hendriks, or watson, ca. 2000-2005.
