Im not familiar with openmosix actually..
We use Grid Engine 6 (which is where qsub comes from) It manages jobs
that users submit.
Each system runs Gentoo with a slew of parallel enabled programs like
Fluctuate, ClustalW, MrBayes, Emboss and such. These get scheduled
using grid engine. (you submit the job with qsub, then it waits for a
given number of systems to become idle before starting it)
If you are looking to design a cluster you can check out Dr. Amit
Jain's cluster installation guide. He spent months testing every
component he could get his hands on before building his cluster. He
produced some really cool documents with wide ranges of cluster
design in them.
They can be found at: http://cs.boisestate.edu/~amit/teaching/430/
notes/beowulf-setup.pdf
He also has tons of tutorials on using OpenPBS (A grid Engine like
project) and PVM and such.
(Dr. Jain is like my favorite instructor of all time.. He is a
cluster and Linux guru.. =)

This may be a side note but here is my take on the whole thing:
Our cluster has 132 nodes, plus we have another cluster with 60. I am
putting Gentoo on both of them now. (Tonight I am doing the big
cluster)
I'm curious - being a newcomer to the world of clustering, what do you
use for the actual clustering? OpenMosix?
Are there any alternatives to OpenMosix?
Update procedure:
Compile the new update using a compute node and the scheduler:
# qsub -b y -N update emerge -B <foobar>
Where does the qsub command come from?
