Yes. This should be great for clustering shouldn't it? I don't know so
much about it, but can't you use the distributedness to easily do
calculations on several machines at once? So one could reboot into AdaOS
before one goes home at night and leave the computer to do calculations
all night while you sleep without worrying too much that somebody is
breaking into your system.
