cluster on Linux in my home / will you forgive me?

Question

I recently posted a question as to how I can cluster my ordinary PCs that were sitting around collecting dust so I could get a little extra power in a Linux app. Here is the real Answer:
http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/
This is running (I spent all night on it) and I did not need infiniband. I use 3 PCs (family, kids gaming, my gaming), with Linux on them, but the slower ones needed some more power and since I had four more older ones in the basement in a box I wanted to cluster them. Well, it worked. If you use Linux and have a spare PC (and can afford a little higher electric bill), check out the link.

Linux is awesome. Yet another way to use an old computer by putting Linux on it.

My real question is this: will you forgive me for seeming so pompous in the last (infinband) question?

Answer 1

Definitely not! Actually I didn't think you were being pompous, I just think you got into the old trap of seeing what looks like a good solution and developing tunnel vision over it. Often this can shut out the real solution. We've all been there, anyone who says they haven't really hasn't done a lot with pcs.

Answer 2

Hey, thanks for the openmosix link.. I may have to try that one here!
