Re: quick question
mosix releases a new patch for each kernel. i personally like openmosix
better than mosix, but that is neither here nor there. what you should do
is find a kernel you like (say, 2.4.19, to pick one arbitrarily), then go
download the (open)mosix patch for that kernel and be off and running.
as an example, openmosix has links for downloading 2.4.18, 2.4.19, and
2.4.20 versions of their software in their downloads section of the site.
