[Xen-users] Xen as alternative for openMosix? about clustering

[Peter Vandersteegen <Peter.Vandersteegen@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

My problem: I have some desktop pc's on my work I would like to use as 
calculation nodes in a cluster.
When I  start a job on the central node,  the cluster should be able to 
load balance these jobs.
Has anybody ever used Xen for this purpose?  What are the alternatives, 
besides Xen and OpenMosix?
In our group we have used openMosix, but we seem to get more and more 
faults we can not solve.   Development  of openMosix also seems to have 
stopped.
The idea for using XEN:
Run several light weight OS on the central node.  Log in to one of these 
light weight OS, start your process and let load balancing take care of 
the job?
Has anybody already tried this?  What are the pros and cons of this idea?

regards

Peter
