Weird.. I feel like the summer of 2003 again .. working on a conference paper with a deadline almost impossible to reach...

Worked out fine back then ..let's hope it works out fine now also..

Moshe announced that tomorrow the
openMosix project will end.

We had a great time.. I learned a lot .. and I got so see a part of the world while working on openMosix.

There are a couple of people on #openmosix that are still trying to build a 2.6 release ,
not sure if they ever succeed.. If they ever reach something that's worth documenting.. I`ll see if my schedule allows to pick up the job again ..

Till then .. I`ll be working on other projects..

while true; do repeat history ; done

openMosix is dead.. but still this is the (update)4th time in 2 days that people start discussing the idea dynamically loadbalancing virtual machine instances around on a big HPC platform.

So , is openMosix really dead ?
