Well, the head node is already fully configured with Centos4.  I 
figured changing the kernel would be a lot lot easier than replacing the 
entire OS  and reconfiguring everything (configuration being the 
result of over a years work...)

Yes, I know, however this doesn't _seem_ to be quite production use yet. 
I probably will try to port the RH patches (if any are even needed) to 
kernel 2.6.14.4 and then apply openmosix 2.6 on top of that.  We'll see 
when I have the time for this and if it's even possible.

Thanks,
