Re: [PATCH:openmosix-tools-0.3.6-2:build break fix]

Evan,
  thanks a lot for your inputs. so i assume openmosix supports 64bit on 2.4
  kernel. But i believe 2.6 series support is very much needed for the
  ever growing technology of clustering and SMP.
  I have seen kerrighed, my idea of Kerrighed is the project is rudimentary
  i overheard it is going for becoming proprietary. Even Openssi doesn't
  have 64bit support (official). As i have seen only Openmosix and Openssi
  been the only driving force towards the SSI technology.
  Do you guys have any figures or whitepaper where i can see the performance
  comparison?.
Thanks
