Re: [openMosix-general] newbie question

[Evan H. <eh...@gm...>]

Fok-
  If you are looking fo ra Citrix replacement, openMosix is not quite
the right Solution for you. The Linux/NX replacement you are looking
fo rwould be the Linux Terminal Server Project. To get apps to migrate
and blanca the migshm patch which I believe is going in to 2.4.26 will
be a big help. You can load balance atleast two servers using dhcp.
There are a couple of ther ways to load balance LTSP also.

   The openmosix  file system was never really built for user
interaction. It worked as way of allowing remote proccess to access
data on teh lauching node with out having to migrate home. You can sue
openMosix to load balance your terminal servers but it will not work
quite the way you want it to. The most common setup is to node lock
the Xserver,to keep X from forgetting where it is, use some form of
dhcp or round robin setup to balance user and openMosix to shuffle
background deamon and services around the cluster.  How many servers
do you have? I know 700 users where not on one MS server.

  I you want to disccuss this setup more contact me off list. I do not
thin that just adding openmosix is going to solve your problems,
though it can provide part of the solution.
