In the next paragraph it says: "we would encourage all users to try migrating to Open MPI [...] Make today an Open MPI day!" The page was last updated almost two years ago and TTBOMK the last release happened in Feb 2007, the release before that was in 2004. So technically, yes, LAM is not "dead". But the message is quite clear, and I'd like to encourage our users to switch. It also makes maintainance a lot easier, and the current situation is a burdon at best. IMHO better packages help our users a lot more then many buggy ones. I do not think the the LAM people do a bad job; they sure do a good one. But I'm not very confident that the maintainance will stay for a lot more years. But I'll check with the authors. Best regards Manuel
