I was wondering if there is a somewhat similar solution for FreeBSD ? Now I use pvm for some small test things and have to say that it works pretty well (cross platform etc.) My environnement exists of 3 fBSD boxes, all pentium class machines and a somewhat better workstation which runs solaris Intel (Can't afford a 'real' sun ;-) After looking at mosix I liked the fact that you can dynamically upgrade in performance by adding nodes without having to change software, which is imho ideal for a large scale low cost application server for X. Can anyone point out some starting points of similar projects for FreeBSD ? I noticed that this list isn't quite busy and so I thought I might ask this in the wrong list(only tech notes etc..), if so I'm sorry for the inconvience.
