I have bit my tongue long enough. openMosix never did have, does not, (and as far as I can predict the future) ever will, have anything to do with Virtualization (even though that may have been the original motivation). Those knowledgeable on KVM should read up on openMosix, and you will understand why I say what I do. Any tools written to be compatible with both openMosix and KVM will be nothing more than a bodged compromise, if you want to run that type of software, talk to Bill. If you insist on buzzword usage, change "Virtualization" to "Virtual", as a simplistic (and incorrect) view, openMosix provides the capability of having "Virtual CPU's". This persistent lumping in of openMosix with Virtualization does nothing but confuse newcomers and cloud the real openMosix issues. (Somebody demo me standard XP sitting on a straight openMosix kernel and I will eat my words :>). ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
