Sorry to hijack the thread but i have a quick question. Is the recommendation to use a vanilla kernel and then patch openmosix onto it or use the openmosix ebuild? I'm looking to use the 2.6 series to build a small cluster (only 3 machines) and i would like to use a reasonably recent kernel (I think stable vanilla is at 2.6.17.8 atm in portage which would be ideal).
Regards
Owen

Panos,
Any two, three machines connected together is a cluster ;) As for the kernel, IIRC, the "vanilla kernel" directive is only for people attempting to build an openmosix cluster (doesn't seem to be your case).

My hardware is sixteen HP DL380 with 3.00GHz Xeon(do not laugh, I know that my cluster is too small for those you design and maintain). I read in gentoo hpc documentantion that I have to install the pure vanilla-sources but I have problem to decide the best version. 2.6.18.1 is out but I think that it' s not a good idea to install the latest kernel, so, I would like to tell me your opinion(eg, I think debian is using 2.6.8(too old!))
