Keep in mind that if you cluster ltsp servers together it takes alot of bandwidth. I brought my local network to a grinding halt with 26 nodes running a mosix kernel on the clients. The mosix stuff needs fat pipe for all of the chatter that occurs ...
We recently switched our servers to redhat advanced clusters using a sistina gfs clustered file system for a active / active configuration. This is a extremely high end option and is quite costly. You need shared scsi storage (SAN), GIG interconnect, Sistina GFS also not free and a month or so of setup and testing. If I had to do something on a budget I would look at mosix and put in a private crossover gig interconnect between two servers. I would under no circumstances use the mosix kernel on the clients.

Then I think we may some problems with local apps. Is this link can solve this cluster problem. http://www.k12os.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=News&file=article&sid=1 4 Thanks Vamsi --- [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Actually openmosix would _definately_ provide help > in that department.
