I've looked at that, one slight problem, I have this aversion to running
Windows on my home network.  The most modern Windows license I have is for
WinXP, that runs in a VM on my Mac (without network connectivity), and
drives a Kodak film scanner.

The other thing is, the hobbyist version is pretty limited compared to my
XP1000/667, especially with regards to RAM, as such it would be best to
offload as much as possible.  Besides it's nice to have a Cluster running at
home again. :-)
