Hello, Andy/Tim.

In this context, what is it that you don't like about openMosix?

The Linux Journal article cited by Andy is entitled "Linux Clustering 
with Ruby Queue: Small Is Beautiful - Using Ruby and SQLite to create 
Linux clusters that take advantage of idle nodes and bypass expensive 
software solutions"

In it, Ara T. Howard says:

"...I had evaluated several packages, such as openMosix and Sun's Grid 
Engine, but ultimately had decided against them."

SGE and openMosix aren't 'expensive' software solutions, they're free!

	Tony.
