[Quantian-general] Running Openmosix on a 2.6 kernel

[Denis Mx]

Of course, this would be for testing purposes
essentially, while waiting for openmosix to be
activated on the 2.6 kernel. But then again, with load
balancing, the virtual machine could still be put to
good use anyway. Which would be better than not using
the machine at all for lack of (easy) hardware support
with the 2.4 kernel.
