First post to the correct mailing list.
That would most likely be: freebsd-questions at freebsd.org

Now, clusters are useless for normal users (workstation, server, ...).
Anyway it's still fun to try it even if it's not useful :)

You can start by reading this

Older systems may also be used for clusters though it won't help much to
see a difference (as far as older means p90).

A cluster is used for intensive computing things such as Graphic
rendering.
