Re: another option for openmosix on alpha

Hi Laurent.

According to the openmosix website, openmosix only supports x86 at the
moment with plans to support ia64 and opteron in the future. Besides, I
don't see how process migration etc. would work across very different
architectures. So I'm afraid it's not going to work with your alpha box.

Bryan Østergaard
