I really want to be able to tell a computer, "Suspend this running process, pick it up, send it over the network to that other computer over there, and resume it as though it had been running over there all along." Uh, and if the process in question is an X client, I want to be able to optionally tell it, "and attach to such-and-such X server while you're at it." I mean, I can tell my computers this now but they just stare at me like I'm an idiot. I want to be able to tell them to do that and have them actually do it. I'm willing to accept "both computers have to be running similar operating systems on the same CPU architecture" as a reasonable limitation.

Is this one of those "high performance computing" features that you get with a modern rack containing a cluster of virtualized multi-core blades, or is it a pipe dream? If it exists, can I kludge the technology onto my ... well, not a cluster but maybe a "clump" ... of mostly obsolete boxes tacked together with 10baseT?

I'm not sure the 800MHz box counts as obsolete -- I don't think it does anyhow -- but I know the various 100MHz, 120MHz, and 200MHz Pentium systems are, ah, "well behind the curve". I'll say the 350 is in the grey area. But hey, I'm getting closer and closer to replacing/retiring the 486/66 machines ... maybe even before Pennsic depending on what else falls in my lap.
