Amongst one of those off the wall projects I'd love to try out would be a smaller beowulf cluster for things such as folding at home and the like.. By example: http://www.calvin.edu/~adams/research/microwulf/ Of course for me a tutorial would need hardware as well as detailed software config from the ground up. While I would be grateful for such a thing I also completely understand if as a request its beyond the realm of possibility.
