So what are the odds of getting openMosix  on DSL? It would be a really cool addition to DSL's functionality, and, I figure, not _too_ big space wise. The user tools add something like ~200 kB and the kernel patch (it's made for kernel 2.4, anyway)  adds something like 200 kB, as far as I can tell. Still, that doesn't seem like much to turn DSL into a cluster base as well as an awesome Linux distro. Thoughts?

Sounds cool!

I can think of some apps I'd like to put on such a system.

Would there be some way to combine it with bittorrent to increase the inter-system speed?



EDIT:  I've been looking at the site.  It uses the same kernel as DSL.  Should be pretty easy to port over.
