I read everthing I could get my hands on from

http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian.html

and joined the listserv there but I'm not getting any traffic. So I thought I'd post my QUANTIAN query here.

I tried QUANTIAN from CD on my router at home and successfully linked 4 PCs in a cluster. I tried it with my students at school with 25 PCs using, yes, 25 CDs and got it working over the DHCP server there.

Now, I'd like to install QUANTIAN to the hd and have all the PCs link to eachother at boot-up as they did with the cd. I have no success, however. I see no dox on how to have openMOSIX start up at boot-up when hdinstalled. What am I missing here?

What I'd like to do eventually is to have all the PCs PXE boot off one server and have them all running openMOSIX right away. Is this doable?

Now, for the real question. Say I get all the PCs in my classroom linked-up this way. Is there a simple app you can suggest that needs so much processing power that I can demonstrate how this works and why we want this to work to my students? BTW, I have 25 Pentium IV 2.4 GHz PCs each with about 750 MB of RAM in my classroom on a 10Mbps LAN.

TIA,
