cluster project

[Rich Edelman]

Well, I have experience setting up OpenMosix... I recently compiled Gentoo on 
a little cluster made of 3 of those Walmart/Microtel 800Mhz machines and an 
Athlon Thunderbird 1.3Ghz machine. It was pretty neat watching the processes 
migrating around, I just wish all the machines had more cache than they did, 
heh. I even do some compiling on a 3 node openmosix cluster at home 
sometimes.

I guess what I'm saying is, if no one else has set up OpenMosix, I'm 
officially volunteering to do it. Could even show others, it's really rather 
simple to do. Mostly just a kernel compile and some userspace tools, very 
little set up involved other than that.
