Should live at Beowulf cluster, unless "Beowulf Cluster" is a proper name--right? --Larry Sanger 08:48, 22 February 2007 (CST)

Here's a simple test - in which form is it most likely to be written in an article - Cluster or cluster? -- ZachPruckowski (Talk) 09:18, 22 February 2007 (CST)

OK well here's another test... on the page http://beowulf.org it's "Beowulf.org is a collection of resources for the expanding universe of users and designers of Beowulf class cluster computers."

Beowulf is a class of cluster. There are other types of clusters (/me goes off and looks to see if the Mosix article exists on CZ) --Eric M Gearhart 11:13, 30 March 2007 (CDT)
