True.  The problem that I had in filling in that box is a question of  
"are we talking hardware or software?".  As Sean pointed out earlier,  
with a home-rolled solution, the question becomes one of which HW  
vendor gives the best support for cluster component purchases.  When  
taken in the context of the various "cluster-in-a-box" solutions, the  
question becomes one of which distribution do you like the best?

But heck, with the prospect of winning an iPod, I did my best to  
answer both :-)
