Snippet From Gadget Show Podcast Highlights Clustered Debian Linux For Backend Of SecondLife

This was originally planned to go out on the FriendsInTech.com site but has been re-allocated back to TechNewsRadio.com:

Steve Holden from TechNewsRadio.com highlights some interesting backend infrastructure configurations from an interview done on the Gadget Show Podcast with Richard Giles.  The interview was with the Vice President of Product Development of SecondLife - Cory Ondrejka.
