OCLUG cluster was Re: [oclug] Cheap / Free Computers

[pgillil at cyberus.ca]

I have a spare 4 port hub, 3 pci nics and at least 1 ISA,  Also 1 
"desktop"  p100 and a mini-tower case, p233 board (need a ps).  Pluse 
the usual assortment of cable bits, floppy drives, vga card or two 
etc.

I don't have _any_ clustering knowledge but that's half the fun.
