Question for Nervesplitter: Ubuntu Cluster
What is it? Well, I know that it is a cluster of computers running Ubuntu. But is it yours, or is it a service that you rent, and if so what service?

Re: Question for Nervesplitter: Ubuntu Cluster
At first, I thought the title said "quest for Nervesplitter". He runs it from his house: Its his.
Yeah, I'm mostly inactive. I check in once in a while though. If you want to contact me, I have a contact form at my website, http://escratch.org

Okay, now I want to know specs and such so I can copy him 
Do you have servers, or just a bunch of old desktops?

Re: Question for Nervesplitter: Ubuntu Cluster
Sorry for the late reply, I''ve been using the computer way too much and it's starting to mess up my eyesight and general health.
Basically it's just lots of old computers, the majority of which came from the MOD from a friend whom works there. Some have 64MB of memory, but have 4GB of RAM, each one is made for a different purpose, although my main PC can host 50 people on its own. Basically the ubuntu cluster is lots of computers being treated as one, which can be done for free on ubuntu, but you have to pay for windows. And I run them all in my room, I'm used to the noise seeming I used to do server work for the company next door, and it makes the heating bill lower.
