Don't have time to look right now but the last time I looked I found a
couple of sites and the price with them to come with linux was eye
watering. Has the game changed? linuxemporium may have been one
offender or it might just be a name that stuck in my head for other
reasons.

A little off topic: how hard is it to set up a cluster? I've got lot
of old computers and put gentoo on them, anyone had experience with
distributed computing? I had  a friend who did some cool stuff but
lost contact sadly
