This subject came up at the June BAFUG (Bay Area FreeBSD Users Group) meeting. According to Jordan Hubbard, he has had several conversations with the MOSIX people and they were not responding as in they were not much interested. MOSIX uses the network cards from Myrinet (www.myri.com) as the bases of it system. We have a driver for these cards and there is a version of MOSIX for 6 machines based on BDSI. This version is in the form of source code patches to BSDI 2.x and 3.x. Anyone feeling lucky ?
