Koza FreeBSD won't do process distribution natively. Want a project? :) Other than that, there are other programs you can use to distribute applications in userspace (such as any of the MPI packages; I've had good experience with lam-mpi). To monitor the status of your clusters, you can use an application called Ganglia. Good luck! Devon H.
