Have any of you guys set up a Beowulf cluster?  Is it difficult?  Can it 
be done with off-the-shelf components?

I'm asking because I think my office is a perfect environment for it.  
We have a "call-center" style setup, and depending on conditions, an 
empty seat _could_ [I'm assuming; based on my current Beowulf knowledge} 
be turned into an extra processor; thereby, adding a little horsepower 
of the unseated machine to our intranet / network subsystem.

Keith's previous post (with the SystemImager link) planted the seed for 
this idea, so thanks Keith!  (also - Keith: I would think you'd have 
learned your way around Tokyo by now.  Maybe you should get out a little 
bit and learn the layout of the town so you're not still Lost  :)

As always, much thanks guys,
CB
