Ohh poor people. I remember when VAX-clusters got available. (You did'nt have a cluster to increase relability 'cause those vax'es never crached). Clusters could consist of *ANY* vaxes, the only thing was that VMS releases was recommended to be one or two steps apart. And clusters consisted of *any* vaxes. And they worked. And this happened (for me) at 1986 . Some clusters are still alive since then, the cluster never dies, but the members are all exchanged. So i have one (nasty) question: Why should i consider novell sft when they seems to be more then 10 years behind ???
