I apologize if this message is redundant.

I have about 15 or so Pentium II 266MHz (a few 350MHz PII's) and five Duron 700MHz systems currently each are running either Fedora Core/Ubuntu Linux or Windows. All of the PII 266MHz systems have the same hardware to my knowledge, as well as the Duron's and the PII 350MHz systems.

Would it be worth it to setup these systems in a Linux cluster and running BOINC projects on a single cluster or would it be better to just allow BOINC projects to run on each system?
I have looked into some Clustering OS's and currently the Rock clustering OS and ClusterKnoppix (if I remember correctly) looks the most appealing to me.
Would this be possible and if so, very difficult?

Thanks!

Running on each is best.
