I think your attitude is right that simply being able to put a cluster
together is an achievement in itself - heck, I remember being well pleased
when I first installed linux (redhat 4.2)! :-) In theory the next step was
what to do with it - actually I already knew this and was installing linux
because I needed it.
Without getting into hot water, a cluster would no doubt be useful for some
number-crunching in terms of...erm...passwords or encryption codes, or the
cracking thereof? :-) Probably have to be a big cluster is 486's are being
used though! :-)
