Hi Okajima, you already have your answer about openMosix; however, one
of the openMosix Community products is able to suspend/resume processes.
 Look for CHeckPOinting for linuX on our Community Page:
http://openmosix.sourceforge.net/community.html 
It might be useful for your project.  Bruce

Hello.

I am working on developing fast booting technlogy.
One of achievement so far is this:  http://www.machboot.com/ 

I know about openMosix very little, but for my understanding,
openMosix can do process level resuming/suspending over clusters.
This understanding is right?
If so, is it possible to apply openMosix to launch apps faster?

I mean, for example, you suspend whole OpenOffice.org process when it 
just starts. Then, you launch OOo by resuming the suspend image you
made before. This resembles Emacs's dump function and I suppose this
way can do very fast apps launching.

Your opinion is very welcome.

Note: I already have noticed one problem.
How you resume X session?
In theory this is easy problem, but actually not so easy.
Probably this needs to hack XFree86 itself.
