Some people have asked me about this: I only know the MOSIX team is now studying a port of MOSIX to FreeBSD. They seemed to like our difference with other OS's (namely Linux), and our licensing terms. I looked a bit at MPC, it seems cool but I didn't like that they use this unstandard hardware, while MOSIX uses anything from network cards to ATM or higher speed cards. I don't think MOSIX will include source code, and it seems like they will release a limited version for six computers, but I can live with it :-). (With six boxes, a common scientific process could take nearly 1/6 of the time on a fast network). Pedro. > > Alexandre Fenyo
