You are correct in assuming that Linux will run on the current NUMA-Q
boxes... The MDC (the board that plugs into a PC for control) needs to be
replaced by a switch which will act as a power switch and reset, but other
than that the machine will run quite nicely with Linux. We even have one in a
lab here...
