Yep. I used Openmosix, which load balances processes across nodes based on
cpu speed/io/etc and is a rewrite of the Mosix codebase.

Depends on the use. I gave it a blast for the hell of it and found a few
little irritating problems when I had it enabled (eg _lots_ of mailman
lock files).

Mostly it was just for fun for me. I would seriously consider going back
to openmosix when its a bit more mature.

Never tried Beowulf though. Not got the time just now.

Regards,
Mark.
