First of all, yes mosix (and open-mosix) are nice technologies that will
harness the collective (incremental) power of your networked computers.
However, like how Mr. Yu has pointed, sometimes there are drawbacks that
come depending on your setup.
Basically what you'd generally want to do, especially in setting up
(even in an experiment) a distributed computing framework (in other
words, a collection of computers working as one) for use, is plan it
carefully. Planning and setting up the system carefully and knowingly is
always key.
If reading more docs would enlighten you, then you should do that. And
if you happen to like what you've read, we'd most be interested in your
findings, as well in helping you out on situations when you seem stuck.
:D
And if your institute (school) would like to delve deeper into clusters
and distributed systems, taking a look at higher level (software and
language level) distributed frameworks like .NET (YES, M$ stuff), Java
Webservices and Servlets, CORBA, rpc, and XML techonologies (YES, in
SOAP and XML-RPC) might be of interest to you.
And there are also Beowulf clusters for high performance parallel
computing. :D
HTH.
