Dear All,
I am new to linux. We are having one machine with strong processing
power. Enterprise Server SUSE Linux 11 SP1 is installed on it. We are
having some other low end terminals. I want to build a cluster of these
machines so that low end terminals can utilize the processing power, RAM
etc of strong configuration machine. I am new to Linux and cluster
computing. Cananybody tel me from where I should start? Is it possible
to build cluster like this without involving any cost?

If you only have one ‘machine with strong processing power’ you don’t
need a cluster. You can just allow people using the ‘low end terminals’
to log in to the ‘one machine with strong processing power’ via SSH. If
they’re running something that will take a long time they can log in,
set it going in the background with stderr and stdout redirected to a
file and then log out. Or they could run whatever they’re running inside
a screen* session, detach it, log out, then log back in later and
reattach.
