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!
