It's supplementary. The good about it is that it will have a number of
programs that just aren't current on the regular acs cluster: mathematica,
matlab, splus, sas. And yes, it's running BU Linux. Right now it's

department), but the plan is to let anyone with an ACS account into the
machine (in the near future). Pam
