Hi all
I'm starting a new project.
It is at the very beginning. Its goal is to operate a network of computers
and make them to seem a single computer. From the point of view of the user.
The targeted audience could be a office, but also a user at home. Well, it's
not so rare to have at home a computer or two and a game console. Why not a
small network?
The real final goal, should be that a person should not any more buy two
expensive pieces of hardware for the same purpose. As an example let's say
I've got a PC with a powerful (expensive) cpu/motherboard/ram in order to
operate quickly for my work. Now I want to have a PC for games (or any kind
of graphic-intense app.) Of course I will buy a powerful 3d card for that
PC.
But, am I willing to buy a cheap cpu/motherboard/ram for it? Sure not. Why?
Just because I cannot use the powerful CPU of my work pc _and_ the powerful
Graphics Card of my game pc as it was a single machine!
Examples might go on with every one of the points where a machine has to
be performant: reliable disks, quietness, optycal storage...
The results, I think, will be a open source distribution based on gnu/linux.
I'm looking for any kind of collaboration, as joining the project, or
giving hints, pointing to existant similar projects, pointing to failures
of similar intents, and so on.
Since I read this mailing list and the kind of people which build gnu/linux
from scratch is, I think, the best one to give hints or feedback to a
project like this, I'm looking for help here.
_At_the_very_moment_ I've not a project website, or a tracker or similar
things, so any comment should be in reply to these mailing lists.
Thanks a lot.

Have you come across the Open Mosix project?
