openMosix dead(), LinuxPMI alive()!

The openMosix project was officially closed in March 1., 2008. The patient cluster hobbyist and academicians were awaiting for the stable 2.6 kernel port of openMosix for several years. A small group of developers decided to pick up the project and continue the development under a new name LinuxPMI (Linux Process Migration Infrastructure). Will LinuxPMI ever deliver a stable 2.6 port? One thing is sure, LinuxPMI needs skilled kernel hackers and public recognition, that single-system image clustering should be the future of computing.

The LinuxPMI.org web site seems to be down.. I hope that's not a permanent thing. I've been keeping half an eye on OpenMosix for years, because it seems like a great way for a cluster to operate (for everyday computing, not just scientific stuff).

I believe that Kerrighed is the most active cluster manager project in the moment. The latest version is based on kernel 2.6.20 and there is a alpha version based on 2.6.30.

Any news on LinuxPMI ? The project site is up but it is not so evident if it is up to date.
