Hi....

I am not one of OpenSSI developers, but hopefully I can give a thought here...

AFAIK, OpenSSI development is a little bit "stalled" right now.
Probably this is due to lack of time in the OpenSSI team itself. But
personally I'd like to see it growing. Unfortunately, I still can not
contribute anything than a piece of HOWTO I wrote years ago.

The problem with openSSI porting toward newer distro is not just about
kernel issue, it also touches userland tools too. Thus, it demands
larger effort than porting something like openMosix (now RIP). Not to
mention the QA effort

Thus, as conclusion, I think you are tied with rather old distro if
you want to implement OpenSSI. You could also consider Kerrighed, but
last time I visit its website, it's still based on  2.6.20.

Hopefully you can draw your own decision after looking at the facts above.
