clusters

[Jonathan Hutchins]

I think the main challange in setting up a cluster is having some sort of 
console management tool, and for any decent size cluster that's pretty 
expensive.  You can patch the kernel so that the console switches to the 
serial port fairly soon after boot starts, but most PC's want their initial 
boot info to display on a monitor.  Some will allow you to run headless, but 
there are problems with that too.
