I look less at MPICH than at LAM or now Open MPI, but most MPI
implementations have examples, and they tend to be interchangeable (that;s
the nice thing about standards....). 

For LAM, if I recall, it;s in the liblam4-dev package -- I was just hunting
this down a few weeks ago at work.  You will have to look at the
corresponding Debian packages.

Otherwise, the lam-mpi.org website has a lot of docs.

Yes, I think I've seen this too. It's a classic example for 'easily
parallelisable code'.

Yes, it's a nice feature. You get the MPI message-passing between different
incarnations of your program, and openMosix shuttles them around on the
cluster. I have some details in one or two of the Quantian talks for which
the slides are still on my site.

Hth, Dirk
