Jou,

No, no. You got it all wrong. All system calls are handled transparently
even when processes are currently residing on a remote node. 

You don't have to worry about migration. Just install your application
on one of the nodes and start it from there, everything else will be
taken care for you automagically by the wonderful powers of openMosix.

Does it restrict only that node for physically running that program?
Certainly that doesn't give me the benefit of the load balancing of a
cluster. Does OpenMosix allow moving the running process to other node
after the MAC address is checked? I guess I haven't gotten a hold of
what OpenMosix can do yet.

Thx,

Jou
