Been thinking, ever since I understood the concept of "clustering", about
doing a practice basement cluster on a bunch of 486 and old Pentium I
systems (especially since getting more of them would be dirt cheap).

Yes, I know that clustering low-end machines would be rather like running
a single 1GHz machine spread out over 501 machines, but at least I could
say that I had managed a cluster of "more than 500 machines".  Don't know
if I could afford the electricity bill (though I could probably turn off
the gas heat in the winter...).
