If your interested in Portage or the Gentoo system running on *BSD you might want to take a look at the Gentoo-Alt project. Their getting portage and the rest of the system working under different kernels. Most of the *BSD ports aren't completly done yet but its usable and theirs always room to help out.
I've seen 64+ processor Linux boxes. Their made by SGI, and they scale up to 256 processors currently and can use up to 4Tb of memory. One of my friends at my LUG works for SGI and did a presentation on them.
Take a look at SGI's site
Just a small correction. FCC regs limit 802.11b signals (the use of the freq specifically) to 1W max. A few of my friend that work at a isp and do wireless hosting via 802.11b have the amps to do that. You usally can't get your hands on that type of equipment without a lot of money. But you can easily get 100mW cards like the XI-325H and suposedly there is the XI-325HI that is 200mW both are made by Zcomax. The internal amp in the prism2 chipset is around 35mW, for a manufacture to get over that they have to add a external amp and disable the internal amp.
computer with peripherals like printers and CD burners, are in short supply. Want to use a digital camera? Don't bother with Kodak if you're running Linux. Iomega is a bit friendlier, offering drivers for 14 of 51 products listed on its drivers Web
First off I've never had any problems using any printer or CD-Burner 'cept for the crap Canon WinPrinters that my company.
Dont bother Kodak? Thier the most widely supported digital camera under linux! Dont even get me started about the Iomega thing. I own almost all of the drive Iomega makes! *ALL* of them work even the newest Clik Drive.
Microsoft and Apple ads are everywhere, but no one is funding major marketing campaigns for desktop Linux. No one with any clout is carrying the torch for desktop Linux.
Uh? IBM?

Suposedly "Aurora" uses a Pulse Detonation Engine from what I've heard.

WiFi is limited to 80mW or less of power output.
