    :-( just ran pin beowulf on 8.2 Pro and was surprised not to find all
    that stuff that used to be in the distro.

    Of course Beowulf is not really a multiprocessor computer but a
    cluster of servers. They are probably diskless servers that *each*
    boot from a shared NFS bootp server that serves up (customized) SLES8
    to each of them.

    More interesting is that these are 64-bit processors - there is a
    SLES8 box for AMD64 (Opteron) - but the article also mentions IA64
    (Itanium 2 Madison) which has no Suse box product yet (at least at
    suse.com)
