None of the blades used a windowing system, so we technically wouldn't have been able to as there is no graphical output (well, the IPMI controllers could have, but that's kind of cheating). Although, as I'm thinking about it... We probably could have run it over ASCII graphics in a terminal... Man, that was a bit of a wasted opportunity, weather modelling is boring as hell. permalink fedilink source parent
