   [1]Panaphonix writes "The Register reports that [2]Orion Multisystems
   is [3]shipping the first 96-node desktop cluster. 'With the new,
   larger system, customers get pretty much the most powerful computer
   around that can plug into a standard electrical socket.' According to
   the [4]spec sheet, the DS-96 runs Fedora Core 2 and gets 110 GFlops
   sustained, 230 GFlops peak."
