Using GNU R on a two box "cluster"

Hello, right now I'm thinking about running R 2.0.0 on box A (Debian SID) but at the same time having access to the ressources of box B (Ubuntu Linux) regarding disk capacity, RAM, idle CPU cycles . Is there anyone of you that has already installed and administred such a tiny (home based) cluster? Well, the term cluster seems quite a bit of an exaggeration related to what I am looking for! I am absolutely new to this subject and I would appreciate some hints on where to start doing such things with my GNU R on both boxes. Maybe a pointer too some introductory materials focussed to doing clustering stuff with GNU R would be sufficient. Are there any recommended methods or tools to realize a two nodes cluster?
The absolute *best* source of cluster information anywhere on the web (subjectively speaking) is the bioclusters mailing list... http://bioinformatics.org/lists/bioclusters The list has a surfeit of cluster experts who make a living from consultancy.
