Called Extreme Linux, and also known as The Beowulf Project, this 
collaboration between Red Hat Software, NASA Goddard Space FlightCenter, 
and over two dozen leading research centers will bring the speed and power 
of multiple computers--parallel processing as one computer--to students, 
researchers, and end-users worldwide.  Extreme Linux is perhaps the most 
effective example of how the cooperative software development model that 
has produced the award-winning Linux OS results in better technology at a 
revolutionary low-cost.  

Building a computer cluster with the OS and tools that are included in this 
$29.95 CD-ROM product will provide researchers with radical improvements in 
the amount of processing power available to them for a given dollar of 
investment.  Having access to complete source code of these tools will allow 
the students, researchers, and technical end users to understand this 
technology at a level never before possible, resulting in a more effective, 
higher performance computing platform. 

For more information about the Extreme Linux/Beowulf Project, please see

Extreme Linux can be purchased directly from Red Hat Software for $29.95 or 
from resellers world wide.
