Craft a load-balancing cluster with clusterKNOPPIX |
| IBM's developerWorks has published an article about creating your own "suppercomputer" with the help of clusterKNOPPIX: "Supercomputer is a generic term that refers to a computer that can perform far better than an ordinary computer. A cluster is a collection of computers that are capable of (among other things) transferring workload from an overloaded unit to other computers in the cluster. This feature is called load balancing. In this article, you'll learn how to set up a load-balancing cluster. By balancing loads effectively, a cluster improves its efficiency and earns its place in the family of supercomputers. For passing loads, computers in a cluster must be connected to each other." The full story.

At one point or another gamers can hit the wall when using other OS systems such as Linux and Mac, as Windows has always been renowned as the OS of choice for the gaming community. In a lot of cases this has changed somewhat over the last few years with the use of virtualization software that helps to bridge that gap, and it can be quite successful to a point. Of course, when you virtualize another OS you can lose some of the performance, than say running a game natively, and with slowdowns and bugs comes frustration. We have listed a few resources that we think are worth a mention for different types of gamers, both online multiplayer and single player, see what you think:
- World of Goo. This is a great puzzle game that will keep you busy for hours, there's also a free playable demo version.
- If you're a online poker enthusiast we can recommend you check out the pokerlistings.com Linux poker page, it has a list of poker apps that are compatible with your OS.
- For the MMORPG (massively multiplayer online role-playing game) crowds you could always take a look at Vendetta online, "thousands of people can play together, at the same time, in a single, persistent universe", sounds great!
