This document gives a brief description to openMosix, a software package that turns a network of GNU/Linux computers into a computer cluster. Along the way, some background to parallel processing is given, as well as a brief introduction to programs that make special use of openMosix's capabilities. The HOWTO expands on the documentation as it provides more background information and discusses the quirks of various distributions.
Since the creation of this HOWTO some people of the Mosix team created openMosix (more info later) both openMosix and Mosix are being discussed in this HOWTO
Kris Buytaert got involved in this piece of work when Scot Stevenson was looking for somebody to take over the Job, this was during February 2002 While initially we discussed both Mosix and openMosix this version of the HOWTO now mainly focusses on openMosix. Please note that the document often still mentions Mosix where it should read openMosix.
("FEHLT", in case you are wondering, is German for "missing"). You will notice that some of the headings are not as serious as they could be. Scot had planned to write the HOWTO in a slightly lighter style, as the world (and even the part of the world with a burping penguin as a mascot) is full of technical literature that is deadly. Therefore some parts still have these comments
