Long-time Linux user but I just discovered how easy clustering can be when I stumbled on an article about openMosix. Now looking at OpenSSI as it appears to handle availability, usability, load, etc. very well. Nice project. Has anyone considered building a Cygwin port? I'm a sysadmin for a large printing company and would *love* to be able to plop a hidden process into the domain-wide Windows startup script ;-D A friend once did this with Distributed.net's client. I could really open up a can with my 150-node 2+GHz workstation cluster he he he he... Just for fun!! Isn't that how Linux got started? Thanks for this project, /dev/idal |

Most of OpenSSI is integrated into the Linux kernel. It would be a _major_ effort to port it to Windows, with or without the Cygwin emulation layer. Brian |

Gotcha... well it was a nice thought :-) Perhaps one day when I become an uber kernel hacker LOL 'Til then I'll be converting old systems to cluster nodes wheeeee! Thanks again, /dev/idal |
