Today I ran openMosix on two computers with BL2 (ramdisk).
This enabled the computers to share jobs.  So, when I gave
the slower computer a big gzip to do, I could see it shift
that job to the faster computer.

It's not that difficult to set up.  You simply replace the
BL2 kernel with the openMosix kernel (which is available 
for download at basiclinux.com.ru), edit BOOT.BAT, list 
the addresses of the computers you want in the cluster 
(in /etc/hpc.map) and execute the start program.  Of course, 
you have to configure your network first (insmod, ifconfig) 
in the usual way.

If people are really interested in this, I'll provide detailed 
instructions.  I suppose I could even do a special BL2 package
with openMosix built in.

Cheers,
Steven
