I have experience with various Linux distributions, however there are a lot of plug ins that are Windows/Mac only that I will be running. It would AWESOME to run a bunch of powerful Linux boxes for DSP resources on a network with Reaper and my plug ins running in Windows!

Some things that require powerful cpu's, could be used via
cabled sneakernetting some line-outs into a mixer connected to the main
daw box. For example, playing some dream arps with Diva, and Repro-1,
some drum patterns using world-class samples, with some underlying
reaktor drones, could gobble up 3 i7's etc while the main daw was used
to play unemcumbered lead lines.
You'll have to be pretty good/lucky at pressing the 'play' buttons
in rythm, or editing start times on the tracks.
If you have spdif support on identical soundcards,
you could synch the internal clocks
of external daw-box soundcards to some advantage, making it easier
to mix with the main track. But sometimes a nuanced 'fail'
adds a little life to something.
Now get some great synths and hardware racksynths with actual
real genuine midi-through capabilities,
and there'll be plenty of creative juices flowing by tea time.
