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.
There is no disputing about tastes.
