Yes, unfortunately.

Torque is derived from OpenPBS. You can use it standalone or with
maui if you need to implement more complex scheduling policies.

There is also OpenMosix which will give you a single OS image spanning
all nodes. It is more useful in a general computing environment since
it lets people work interactively. Unfortunately it only supports
Linux 2.4 x86. I tried the beta with 2.6 support but it was a bit
unstable. When it is released I'll definitely consider it again.
If you can live with 2.4 you might want to check it out.
