I've started to horde old laptops as a new hobby, my main one being sold to for capital*for a PayPal thing I wanted to do, and needing something else to work with, some friends were trading up, hard drive failed on a Dell that needed a special IDE, warehouses were cleaned out, I found myself with 3 okay computers on hand. Being that I can get them all hardlined to one another and run linux on all of them for the time being, is there any sort of structure I could use to slave them to each other, so I could maybe use one as external display, borrow ports, maybe a lan based Dropbox solution, or any other stuffs I could do to make them more then the sum of their parts? As much as I like the idea of working on a couple different tasks with the only lag being travel time, I figure I may not get another chance to do some networking like this for a while and wanted to play it up.
