the Distributions

Wim Vandersmissen's ClusterKnoppix is a full openMosix Cluster + Knoppix + XFree + openMosixview bootable CD which can be a "terminal server" that allows clients to boot over the network by PXE.

How To Build Your Own Boot CD

Quantian
Scientific Computing Environment    

Dirk Eddelbuettel's Quantian Scientific Computing Cluster is a Scientific Computing Environment based upon ClusterKnoppix.  Provides an instant cluster of mathematical+scientific workstations from a bootable DVD.  Most of the included software packages have a demo-section making Quantian extremely useful for demonstrations. The options are many, including installing into a Windows Partition.  http://dirk.eddelbuettel.com/quantian.html

CHAOS   Compact, secure, and  straight-forward.  Ian Latter's CHAOS is a CD-based Linux and openMosix cluster distribution.  The CHAOS distribution fits on a single business card sized CD-ROM.  This tiny disc will boot any i586 class PC (that supports CD booting), into a working openMosix node, without disturbing (or even touching) the contents of any local hard disk. Ideal for large-scale ad hoc clusters, once booted, CHAOS runs from memory allowing the CD to be used on the next node (and allowing for automated rebooting into the host OS).  CHAOS aims to be the most compact, secure and straight-forward openMosix cluster platform available.  

 Paul Gray's bootable cluster cd (BCCD) provides a boot-up openMosix clustering solution that is intended primarily for cluster computing education.  It's motivation is undergraduate institutions with lots of W2K labs, but no funds to purchase or staff a cluster. Clustering Education! What better way than to show off what openMosix can do?  http://bccd.cs.uni.edu/

  How to setup a wonderful openMosix cluster using the BCCD.

Dirk Westfal's grendelsbane Live Linux CD  is a Dragon Slaying openMosix Live CD-based Distribution based upon RedHat that creates an instant openMosix cluster (or adds an openMosix node). It is a Knoppix' like universal "run-from-CD" Linux distribution, but this can boot and run openMosix from the CD.  And now comes Basilisk, a monster GUI (X/KDE Workstation) node with a HISS.

Boot Jaromil Rastafari's dyne:bolic CD and you have an openMosix Cluster for multimedia production.  You can manipulate and broadcast both sound and video with tools to record, edit, encode and stream, all using only free software!  One of the very first to cluster x-boxes. http://www.dynebolic.org/ or http://www.dynebolic.org/index.php?show=features 

 Using Blender with openMosix and dyne:bolic walks you through building an openMosix dyne:bolic cluster with step by step instructions.

J Silverman's Clusterix is a Morphix-like Live-CD distro of openMosix.  http://clusterix.livecd.net/

  Sentinix is a CD distribution for monitoring, auditing, and intrusion detection.
mirror    Gmane   Article   The package includes: Nagios, Nagat, Snort, SnortCenter, ACID, Cacti, RRDTool, Nessus, Postfix, MailScanner, SpamAssassin,  MySQL, Apache, PHP, Perl, Python and lots more.  openMosix is running when the system is installed.   The installed network/service monitoring tools are pre-configured, started and working as soon as it boots.  Install Sentinix inside your cluster's firewall and you are monitoring the nodes of an openMosix cluster (currently, you be using the same kernel-version/config).   http://sentinix.org/
