[Linux-cluster] Please correct me if I'm wrong, but...

[Randy Brown]

hmmmm.. OK.  So it looks like we can do what we want to do with or 
without GFS, and it looks like I was also misinformed about the 
cost/availability.  Interesting.  I guess I know what I'll be doing over 
the next couple of days then.  Thanks for all of the quick, informative, 
responses.  I'm sure I'll have more questions in the coming days.

Regards,
Randy
