Rip mp3s?

Seriously - it's really cool to have a couple of machines ripping and
MOSIX scheduling the encoding to MP3 to the fastest available processor.

Of course, that assumes you have some CDs lying around you haven't
already ripped. :)

If we do another expo type thing (the first one last year had some huge
logistical errors with the show's planners (i.e. not promoting it
correctly) and the last one was a serious bust, so I'm not sure I'd
personally recommend it...) it would certainly be cool to show off a
"Linux-based supercomputer built from donated equipment." :)

Very cool. Which kernel and MOSIX patch are you using?
