Hey all,
I've got a lot of old computers lying around and have been considering
setting up an Ubuntu cluster. I've previously cheated doing this now
and again and used OpenKnoppix, having got a PC with SATA hard drives,
OpenMosix now doesn't suffice as I need the 2.6 kernel.

Doing a bit of research I found Kerrighed and wondered if anyone has
played with this in Ubuntu? Is it easy enough to manage and maintain
or is it a right royal pain in the bum?
Not tried it, but I would be interested to hear how you get on?
Hello Matthew,
I compiled the Kerrighed Kernel under Ubuntu 8.04 using the attached
script, and I've booted it successfully. I'd be interested to hear from
anyone else running, or thinking about running, the Kerrighed Kernel
under Ubuntu:

Happy New Year!
Tony.
