[Gllug] openMosix

[mimo]

Thanks John for taking time to reply and inform me about all this. 
Actually, I sent this to the wrong list in the first place. I wanted to 
write to debian-isp... :)
Shame I missed your talk. I am quite interested. We are running a few 
servers and sometimes experience the typical peak problems. Now, adding 
machines, upgrading machines, etc. is always a hassle. So when I started 
reading about openMosix I was quite interested as it remembered me of 
the google cluster model. Or what is reported to be what google are 
doing. I'll have a look at that URL you sent me.
Again, thanks a lot.
