> My thought for a really interesting project would be to have a club of
> ten or twelve kids in Center City build a Beowulf cluster from cast off
> PCs in the school department with help from PLUG. Lots of learning,
> huge potential, and puts a lot of computing power in the right hands.
> In my dream picture, the project would use the unused cafeteria in the
> Free Public Library main building -- great publicity for all parties,
> good security so machines are safe, the library gets a slice of
> mother-huge processing power, and the kids learn that libraries are
> great places.

> Just a thought .... (No, I've never built a cluster.)
