Aloha,
Just for grins, I found this while researching a paper on the
'futility' of export restrictions for computer technology about 2 years
ago. This system is no longer running as it was, but it was a cool use
of 'junk' hardware and some very useful science came out of it inthe
meantime

Be proud you got to the point of writing your list down!

Thanks Ron, those sites look good; or should I say intimidating?

I'm mostly instrumentation, but I did ask, and the clusters that are
here are (I think) all Sun based.
There is a book called "How to build a Beowulf: a guide to the
implementation and application of pc clusters" which is all about PC
clusters built on Linux machines. I've been kind of thinki
If you want to set that up, you should have a look at
Clusterknoppix, which does clustering in a convenient and
easy way. Moreover, it is AFAIR based on openMosix, so
every application potentially benefits from the clustering as it is a
Kernel extension instead of Cluster software like
Beowulf
Hey Matt,
Linux does distributed computing very easily. Imagine a classroom of
computer sitting idle all night long. Or complete coporation of PC's doing
nothing for at least 8 hours a day. Now imagine using all of those idle
BogoMips to function as a rendering farm, or to crunch numbers like Seti
