I was wondering about this, it's got two USB2 ports and 100Mbit
Ethernet, presumably you could add another USB nic and use channel
bonding however at some point you are going to be limited by the fact
it's a 400MHhz device with 32Mb ram.
It would make a interesting toy cluster, the constraints would certainly
sharpen the mind.
I never even thought of that approach. Use the slugs as <$100 nodes
in a toy cluster.
