Tiny computers


gumstix cluster - a pack of very small linux machines

One of the most intriguing uses to me seemed to be the clustering of these, and we have started to work on that in-house; hence, the picture you see here.

This is 4 waysmalls using an Ether Gadget with RNDIS plugged into a Windows XP machine, being bridged to a central DHCP server. Our hope is to make a cluster of at least a dozen gumstix available over the web for remote login. We plan to get distcc running on it and open it up to the community as a development cluster.
