Man......I know what you mean. It take's me 1 hour to fire up the farm when I have a power surge

I added up the time that the farm is down for 1 hour is like 1 rig down for a day.....

Hence why we don't just use one super computer.

FAH isn't distributed computing without reason.

The only reason I said cluster is because if you have a whole bunch of slow pc's, you could cluster them together so that you might have "one" decent folding system out of it.

Yea......With Knoppix you half to start the server and then power each node up one at a time so the server will ID each node.

Yes it is but I dont think it too much. But with the power it saves and the heat no being put out by the HHD. Every little bit helps.
