Allow me to suggest The Rock Linux distribution.  My understanding is
it's sort of like Slackware for Macs, which means it's not going to get
all hinky at you if you don't want to install Gnome and KDE and all the
rest of the bloatware, and it'll put minimal obstacles in the way of you
getting your hands dirty and doing what you'll need to do to incorporate
the Macs into a cluster.

Hmm.  Let me look around.  I think I have a 1.2GB IDE drive that got
pulled out of a machine recently.  I think I may have some extra 10/100
NICs too, but I don't know what types they are and I'm not certain they
all work.
