..with minimal setup. i have a half dozen or so (maybe more) 486s around the shop, including a couple rackmount servers. plan is to build a hadoop cluster with em for guerrilla marketing attraction.

yep. i'm making a parallel processing 'super' computer out of outdated equipment. good bet it'll be debian all teh way since i want to match architectures and OSes as close as possible so threads return at about the same time.
