You have to install a batch processing and resource management system, there 
are several around like openpbs (http://www-unix.mcs.anl.gov/openpbs/), maui 
and torque ... also there s a solution from sun/ sgi 

afaik the only free solution is openpbs and it will work for small 
installations without high requirements.

if you want to run it parallel you have to install mpich and lam.
Also a shared filesystem for all this nodes would be nice (easiest nfs also 
afs or any other shared filesystem like clusterfs).
