LOL well honestly i meant that mosix needed to be put in the kernel
referring to all kernels but i didnt word that clearly at all did i? any
case about the army of 486's :-p i was honestly being serious, there are
plenty of benifits of having 25-50 identical computers. like you said I/O
being one, :) and things can allways be said about multi processors and
true multi tasking ;) 4 processors beat the work of 1 :D well, within
reason :-p lol altho an army of 486's, well, they are gonna eat up power
like an bat outta hell! wonder what the bill is for 50 nodes of that nature!
