I have posted the code into povray.binaries.utilities group.

Now at the moment the machines need ssh on the clients and servers to
work.
I'm working on a method to use netcat on the unix clients/servers, so
that ssh doesn't have to be on the machines, and the user doesn't need
accounts on the machines...

This was it would be easier for someone (Not me 8-) to create a client
for Mac or Windows. And with a change to the server, to allow tagging of
the clients machines OS, could send different packages to the clients.
Or set up the packages with portable stuff and have the necessary
binaries ready on the clients first.

Another area I could see this system working for is, 
	encoding mp3's (1 per machine)
	creating mpeg animations (if you know of a way of patching separate
mpegs together without having to re-calculate the whole thing).
	polling many routers, with different clients, and getting back the
results for alarming against.

The sorts of things this could be used for is limitless (Well maybe not
- but a lot). And it will be easier to install than mosix.. 8-)

For me I want to get it so I can use windows machines, as at work we
have about 70 PII 450's running windows 95 - all doing nothing for 18
hours a day.
