Depends on what you want to do:

Theres openmosix, where you have multiple pc's exchanging jobs without the 
user taking notice. I think www.openmosix.org is your friend, there's also a 
openmisix kernel in gentoo...

Then you can use MPI, which doesn't require a patched kernel, but still lets 
you run on programm on several pc's.

And there are services for distributed computing like distcc. The simpliest 
solution.

I once had a p60 and a p133 together as an openmosix-cluster but that was with 
a "tuned" suse6.2.
