Hi,
I hope my earlier email was not misunderstood! I meant that CDAC (and OTHER 
entities LIKE IT!) should take a look at clustering and use it to their 
advantage (i dont care how they do it, commercial or gpl or whatever) in 
developing whatever commercial products they want.  I didnt mean to say that 
they should take up development of this and keep it open-source for us, the 
public, to use... I was just hoping that companies see the advantage 
clustering with linux can give...
(i did mention various organisations saving tons of money on building 
clusters rather than purchasing actual supercomputers and all...)

all i want to see is India having good expertise and actual hardcore 
capabilities in the areas of high-performance computing! (you know with the 
restrictions that we face in trying to import supercomputers made in foreign 
countries...) And of course Linux should be taken advantage of to work 
toward this goal... no?  comments please?

regards,
vishal
