Deletion nomination[edit]

The Rocks Cluster distribution is an open source non-commercial Linux distribution that has been around since 2000.[1] It is a notable on its own right, as can be seen by the Google test (1,950,000 hits).[2] Although it is not generally used by end users for personal desktop installations, its used in cluster server farms and in the grid computing space is relatively prominent. Constructive suggestions for specific improvements to this stub article are welcome. -- Bovineone 00:01, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Eucalyptus Cloud Computing[edit]

I'd hate to see this page go. We know that "cloud computing" got a major boost in popularity towards the end of 2007, with Google and Amazon vying for the top spot in "elastic computing". Eucalyptus, a project of UC Santa Barbara, just released their product aimed at delivering a real, usable open source cloud computing environment based on Xen and Rocks is the most preferable way to deploy the environment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.42.208.182 (talk) 20:11, 8 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]
