I miss openMosix[1]... Its been so long, but I remember running kernel compiles on two workstations a long time ago... Double the core count! It actually gave a significant speedup on 100mbps switched lan (I think it was just a crossed cable, no actual switch).

I couldn't remember setting up NFS or anything like that - apparently openMosix did some tricks too: http://www.firewall.cx/linux-knowledgebase-tutorials/openmos...
