Hi |

Sorry to hijack the thread but i have a quick question. Is the |
| 4 |
recommendation to use a vanilla kernel and then patch openmosix onto it or |
| 5 |
use the openmosix ebuild? I'm looking to use the 2.6 series to build a small |
| 6 |
cluster (only 3 machines) and i would like to use a reasonably recent kernel |
| 7 |
(I think stable vanilla is at 2.6.17.8 atm in portage which would be ideal). |
