Has anyone ever heard of Linux actually doing it? It's the beowulf project, and it has been very successful. Trying going to www.beowulf.org I believe, other wise a quick web search will get you the right address. FreeBSD has two such projects but they're both commercial in nature so I've not used either one. My next project (after I get 3.0 working!!! :) is to load Beowulf on my home network and see if I can make it work.
