Anyhow:
Again, thanks to everyone for the replies.
To clarify, [and maybe restate?] I'm going to uWaterloo for Honours B.Sc.
in Physics. Computers are just a passionate hobby that I got into when I
was young. So much so, I'd like to major in quantum computing, perhaps get
into R&D and "making"[not entirely sure what that entails just yet...] new
kinds of computers/architechtures...
So what I get so far is:
->forget about the beowulf for now until I've got a clear focus, and
concentrate more on building my coding and linux skillz [pardon the
vernacular, but as an avid teen gamer I felt it was appropriate]. I've got
a bunch of computer's that aren't good enough for LAN'ing today's games
with my friends, so why not change my lamo Windows home network into a
crafty Linux one? Right? [For all intentents and purposes, in the scope of
this converasation, BSD=Linux, n'est-ce pas?]
Why not make a Beowulf cluster? The process of just getting the cluster up
and going and even running a trivial application would be a good exercise
in getting your Linux skills going.
