but, the new tools are still very Alpha (2006-05-21 - Alpha openMosix
2.6 Tools will remain for Developers only until released as Beta.

Hi
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).

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).

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!))
