I have a stack of Dell Optiplex G200's and I working on building a small cluster with them. Since I'm making the cluster for the fun of it... I may as well put it to work.

Has anyone tried to fold on a Linux cluster? Does anyone have any tips or tricks for doing it?
 
This sounds awfully familiar... Fold-server is designed to do exactly this (I'm the author), and Crashsector is using it on a bunch of Optiplexes (Optiplice?). It's not exactly a cluster, but you install fold-server on one machine and netboot the others.

Clusters don't work well with FAH; it's designed for independent machines. It only allows 8 machine IDs, so any more than 8 processors will go unused.
