...openMosix does anything daft yet... like work with the most current stable kernel series?

Don't get me wrong, it seems great, but it's hardly worth staying with 2.4 for.

  work with the most current stable kernel series?
  
  We will not release any new 2.4.22 versions (2.24.22-3 is last).
  
  2.4.24 release is pending test and review.
  2.4.26 release will be the last official openMosix release for 2.4 and after that, we'll move to 2.6.

    My point was that it's on the way and in the roadmap. Since it seems there's some controversy about 2.6 really is stable or not, it makes a certain kind of sense to stay with 2.4 for now, but plan for 2.6. If you can't wait, use 2.4. For most server applications, this shouldn't be a problem. If you can wait - no problem.
    And I don't think there'll be a karma bonfire in here. :-)

no it is not. It is a kernel extension that allows transparent and smooth migration of processes between cluster nodes without user intervention based on load balancing algorithms. (PERIOD).

OpenMosix is available in dozens of distributions and on boot images, even knoppix-like ones (cluster-knoppix) but also for mainstream distro's like lunar [lunar-linux.org] gentoo etc..
