Subject: [Hampshire] In need of a project
Hi all



Can anyone suggest a good Linux project? I have 4 boxes, three of which
are reasonably "specced" but I've not done much with them (apart from the
usual emails/web etc) since I had them all running the lam-mpi [1] software
a while back.



Things I've thought of are:

* Getting compiz-fusion to work - but gave up on this - it never seemed to
work for me - changing settings seemed to have little result

* Multimedia: Recording music or Podcasts / Video editing aren't really my
thing

* Building a bespoke firewall / router. I'm tempted by this but (as I'll
be most likely doing this over the festive season) I don't want to render us
without net access!

* Render farm - too similar to lam-mpi



I'm after something that's more a challenge to setup as opposed to something
that looks flash. It would also be good if it really uses a lot of CPU - I
like to see my boxes work hard! Can anyone recommend anything?



Cheers

Rob
