OK, Michael, that's great! I think I'll try javaPVM first. When I have some time, I really want to play with your CD. I think I'm going to have to hdinstall it, however, as I can't get PXE to work. Security is not an issue. These machines use only local static IP addresses and are not accessible from off campus.

One of the reasons openMOSIX appealed to me is all the monitoring software that made it easy to see that the cluster was actually doing something! I saw on your website that Ganglia is now on your ISO, that's great too! Of course, lets not forget the auto load balancing for certain apps that can migrate over MOSIX as well as nodes being added automatically to the cluster....

BTW, I see you have a demo the uses OCTAVE. I'm not familiar with that application. I know its one of the QUANTIAN suite of apps along with R and some Stats and CAS software. Could you describe what OCTAVE does and what your demo should show?
