If you're putting hard drives with a Linux install on all of the machines Mosix is easy as installing a new kernel, editing a config file or two and re-booting. The diffiulty with my setup has been doing the diskless members, and making sure that it returns it to the windows login screens before folks get back to work in the morning.
My cluster at home is more similar to what you're doing.. A P100, P75, 2* P166's and a Duron 900.. Two of them have small RedHat installs on them, on 635 Mb drives.
The ones with RH just had the mosix 2.4.20 RPM installed on them, I edited grub.conf to make the mosix kernel default, and edited the mosix.map config to be the same as all the other machines. mosix.map is the only config file you need to worry about if you're using the rpm or tgz installed kernel from openmosix.sourceforge.net.
Good luck, and let us know how you get on, it's an interesting area to much around with...
Cheers, Chris H.

Not quite as good as chris's cluster but me and my brother are going to
set up a cluster with 1 p133 1 p330 1cyrix 686 1intel celeron and another
computer cant remeber specs.But we don't have switch,Cable, Need More Ram,
1 floppy drive and a pile of nics so im going into molten media on monday.
Do you think i could use the thinstar im getting to day to add to the
cluster i think that would be too hard for someone of my skill. I think
the cluster alone will be extremely hard for someone of my skill. Im going
to stop talking to myself NOW.
