It could be done, but it would be fiendishly difficult.  Many
distribution packages need to be modified to deal with their different
clusterview/localview requirements.  (In general we want an OpenSSI
system to be SSI, I.E. processes don't have to know which node they're
on, or even that the machine has multiple nodes.  This breaks down for
some system tasks, like udev and hal which obviously care about the
exact hardware on the node.  Subsystems that should be run in parallel
across nodes may also need modification).

Unless you have many man-months to expend in making an OpenSSI port for
slackware I'd recommend using one of the existing ports - FC or Debian.

If you don't want to trash your existing systems you could investigate
running OpenSSI under KVM or QEMU - I find that's often the best way of
debugging and developing things.
