I remember back in the early 2000s thinking how cool it was that I had distributed C compilers helping my Gentoo installs along.
I really wanted to set up a university computer lab such that when computers are idle, their CPU cycles are donated to some massively parallel simulations. Worked great on small scale, but I moved on before we implemented it on a larger scale.
