I use openMosix with an LTSP cluster. If you do not mind stayig with
a 2.4 kernel openmosix is pretty nice. A good way to use it is between
two LTSP servers to keep the load balanced between them. Some people
also use it to share out work to teh thin clients. the only issue this

Just randomly adding new variables to lts.conf won't magically make them
