Sorry for the late summary. My question was:

>Anyone know if True64 clustering can incorporate Compaq's Intel
>boxes running Linux?

Answer: No. Primary issue is 'TrueCluster' product will not incorporate
any OS other than True64. There is also the issue of incompatibility
between 64-bit and 32-bit architectures. Further, TrueCluster is
primarily
a High Availability product (my sense; see Digital web site) and
beowulf is a different solution to a different problem.
