ill probably end up going with local installs, so if anyone knows where i can get 4-6 relatively small ide drives (2-4gb) it'd be greatly appreciated heheh.  basically what i want to do though is have a 'gateway' system to get into the cluster, you must have an account on that, or else the cluster wont even talk to you.  this should keep people from just stumbling across it and even knowing its there, kinda putting it behind an extra ring of security.  am i going about this the right way in my head?
