RE: [Ltsp-discuss] ltsp server smp memory experience? cluster?

[Egan, M. B. (Artco) <mb...@ar...>]

Really?! 

I thought about doing it but never got very far (infact I don't think I did
much more then think about it) 

How does mosix work do you have to compile it into your kernel or is it just
a program you run in the background of each machine (if so would you need
local apps running?) is it a module you load? 

Does mosix come with some sort of utility to see usage? 

Anyway thanks for any info

Matt

cluster?



*** I've tried the Mosix package ... It works and it was fairly easy to
set up.
