Take a look at openosix.. I used it once to setup a cluster of 4 PC's to 
create a bunch of MP3's faster.. It worked like a dream..

Just a note.. Make sure you app is multi-process (not just 
multi-threaded) and that is does not make use of shared memory, 
otherwise your cluster will not migrate processes to the other nodes in 
the cluster..

This is of course a processing cluster, if you are after a high 
availibility cluster or a load balancing clister you may want to look at 
software like "heartbeat", "LVM (Linux Virtual Machine)" and "openssi" 
(I think thats what it was)..

Have fun..

Later..
