Who determines what "excessive profit" is? You? Exactly! The consumer! remember us? $400 for MS Office is ridiculous, per connection fees to a server running NT/2000/XP are just highway robbery! Remember, it's my server and I pay the ISP for the damn bandwidth not MS, I've also bought all the client software. And most shareware is crap! I'm constantly reinstalling windows for people because they messed up there machines dll libraries with junk. If companies would put out quality software, and charge reasonable prices I would have alot more sympathy. But until then, I'd vote for the government to use open source solutions before wasting taxpayers money feeding the coffers of the Business Software Alliance!

If you read the one page pdf file, it assumes you already have a network of OSX boxes set up. The same thing in linux would look like:
Requirements: Linux Network with rsh enabled, preferably with firewall and IP Masquerade.
1.) Download jobmanager and bWatch rpm's
2.) Do a rpm -Ivh *.rpm
3.) Add list of nodes to.rhosts files on very node
4.) List all nodes in/etc/hosts files
5.) In a terminal issue: jr -q [process command]
Viola! your distributive computing!
