Tone and style[edit]

This article has some weasel words: "The Voyager architecture used a high overhead directory based cache cohererency scheme" and "There were several excellent aspects of the architecture"
"486 and Pentium based" isn't a real sentence
If the "V'ger" colloquialism needs to be mention, it needs to be rewritten

References/Content verification[edit]

Where can the statement that there are (only) 4 voyager systems running Linux be checked? Where does the number come from?

In the above, there appears to be no reference to V'ger. They also allow to put Linux's Voyager support in context: it appeared to exist in 2005 but removed as obsolete in 2010. It also shows that the architecture was from the 80s. Still not much for an article, and not secondary sources, except the Elsevier book which only permits to verify that Linux support for Voyager once existed... —Paleo Neonate – 09:59, 14 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
