Hi Pierre,

Unfortunately, while Debian has pretty good coverage across most areas,
openMosix needs a maintainer.  Both clusterKnoppix and Quantian have used
non-Debian source for the two key components: the oM kernel patch, and the
user tools.

I think you wouldn't need more than a patched kernel and the openMosix
userspace tools.  This material is / was covered in Kris' openMosix FAQ, I
think.

You could also boot off Quantian and clusterKnoppix and mount your normal
/home and data directories as a hybrid solution.

Hope this helps,  Dirk
