> My specific goals:
> 1st: Set up a network using old heterogeneous pcs (pentium 2s,pentiums,
> 486s) and a small op sys with tcp/ip support that is dedicated to running
> the distributed code. Thinking about using one of the Mini linux on floppy
> setups.
>
> 2nd: Code project that lends itself to distributed computing, like
> reimplement the zipcrack project so that it dynamically distributes
> portions of the decrpyting to various machines based on speed factors.
>
> 3rd: Produce code capable of dynamically accepting new projects and ending
> old ones.

> Seems like something like this will have already be done, so if anyone can
> point me in the right direction or even send me the information on the
> whole setup it would be appreciated.
