home cluster computing setup

Knut Ole
hi,

i want to connect my five laptops together in a load-sharing cluster over wifi (using the wifi-router as a gateway between computers).

i wonder if it's possible to do this with minimum knowledge of linux?

any ideas on how to go about it? will it work?

thanks in advance,
k

What kind of cluster are you looking to put together?

What are you looking to do?

thanks for answer,

im looking to make photoshop, final cut rendering go faster. also, if the whole network could be set up to share cpu power seemlessly, then that would be great too. (but i dont know how efficient this really is, if it's really possible.)

and to easily add or substract computers from the network would be great. are there any tools or info on how to do that?

thanks again

I'm not familiar with configuring clusters, so I can only point you towards them - if a program like Photoshop would really be able to utilize those resources is another question entirely (do they even make a Linux version of Photoshop?).

The type of clustering I am familiar with is called Beowulf clustering.
