How to create a cluster with a tablet as a main interface?


Hi!

I am about to buy Fujitsu's P1510D Tablet PC. I am a digital artist and I need lots of storage and computational power. I want to use my tablet(XP tablet edition) as my main interface.

I was thinking more towards a cluster setup. Say some thing like Apple's Xserve RAID from YDL(HPC). But what I want to know is how to hook it up to my tablet. I know that since tablet can not be run as a server, I would need some addition softwares.

What I am trying here is to have machines only on a need to have basis. If I can get away with just a tablet and Xserve with ease, I would prefer that.

Be more specific, what do you need? If you just need storage then you can configure your server(s) as a fileserver, if you also want CPU you could use VNC or X to run the actual application on the server, and the Tablet just a "dumb terminal". Clusters are mostly used for rendering, I think you need to go to specialised fora for that, google for BEOWULF. It will be MUCH easier to buy a multiprocessor system if you need CPU-punch.
