Steve, not at all. In fact I thought I was putting my foot in my mouth. That's what discussion lists are for. I have always liked Mosix, and have followed it. One of our customers uses Mosix on his cluster, as it is a 'fire and forget' solution, and he doesn't want the fuss of a batch system. For him, it works marvellously. On the Beowulf list recently, there was a post from someone from SAP (I think) asking about migrating vmware images. Interesting... Sadly they don't migrate. Only certain processes migrate - have a look at the Mosix wiki. And my remarks about the Linux kernel are based on something I rad once about Linus saying he would never have it in the kernel.
