If you're willing to work on it then myself and the scientists in the lab I work for would probably be willing to throw some test hardware at it. I think it would be really excellent to be able to offer the mosix process migration capabilities as a standard FreeBSD option. Something like options MOSIX and then a mosix.conf file or something to control the server-workstation pool behavior. We could then advertise we're the only 100% free out-of-the-box cluster ready operating system. I could even envision a sysinstall distribution option for cluster node which automatically offers a choice of MPI and PVM libraries out of the packages collection and installs a kernel.GENERIC.mosix or something. Like I said if we can get the source to the BSD/OS port unencumbered this would be a great starting point. -- Brandon D.
