Going back a few posts, yep, Beowulf, heck of a memory you have.  Jan '98 Linux
Journal has some stuff in a few articles.  Here's some links for people who want
to see some of the Bewolf stuff, Beowulf class is a minimum of 16 computers,
they're quoting minimum costs in the price range of exotic cars.  Some of the
pictures on these sites are pretty cool.
