I hadn't planned on it (the one time I tried Mosix last year it wasn't free and didn't work out of the box) but Mosix might be a good candidate for a team approach. At the very least the kernel and userspace sides could be separated. Is Mosix completely modular or does it require patches to the static part of the kernel still? That could prove to be a major difficulty in distributing working .debs for the whole suite. DIPC and bproc, while not as ambitious as Mosix provide some similar capabilities and might be achievable before freeze. I was waffling on trying to package DIPC ( I really shouldn't spend the time on it) after Kamran's latest posts to beowulf and his frustration with the EL distribution. -Drake
