I ran mosix (before all the political crap that resulted in forking) on my
whole network for a while a few years ago, and did some work with both
mosix and pvm at my alma mater. (open)mosix is extremely easy to set up -
all you do is patch the kernel and build, basically, then tweak away. It
swaps processes between machines once it determines that there will be
some benefit from doing so - pretty nice for things like make (-j6), or
really any multiprocess, cpu-intensive app.
