There's a patch (openmosix) which I would really like to make use of [seeing as I just got 10 diskless computers...] which is not ready (yet) for the 2.6 kernel series...

Can I just drop in a 2.4.26 series kernel and continue to have a working system? Or is RHEL now totally dependent on 2.6 kernel features?

CentOS 4 is quite dependent upon 2.6 kernels. Is using CentOS 3 not an option? CentOS 3 uses a 2.4 kernel that could take the openmosix patch.

However, there is a 2.6 openMosix, but it's only available in CVS right now. There are bootable openMosix floppies for instant clusters, as well. Cool stuff.
