If you are looking at using your existing apps, a traditional Beowulf setup will not help.
Try using MOSIX, it can spread the load between the various machines even if the software is not written for it. If you can convince it to run, it is very picky about kernel versions, file positions, etc.
Have you worked with the 2.2.12 kernel? I had no problem (that patience wouldn't solve) getting the clients to boot NFS with Slack 4.0 but have been unsuccessful under Slack 7.0
I know it is not in the server setup, I can still connect with the old bootdsks, but I get a failed root mount with the Slack 7.0 bootdsks.
I upgraded because MOSIX will run under Slack 7.0 with very little alterations in paths.

Wasn't Wolfpack supposed to ship with WIN2000 at first but was dropped because of reliability?
It this a replacement or enhancecment for Wolfpack?
I will believe it when I see it.
