I`m talking about somebody who is new to clustering,  he hears something
abou "Mosix" he doens't know there is an Open and a closed version.  On
the Mosix site no mention can be found of the open version.  So he goes
looking for documentation finds the Mosix howto and realises there is an
Open version.   ... Mayby I could rename the HOWTO to the (open)Mosix
HOWTO.  

greetz..
