Hello everyone,

I have just read the end-of-life announcement of OpenMosix (a Linux extension
for single-system image clustering that allows building a cluster from
ordinary networked computers).
http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=715406

What hit me is the reason:

The increasing power and availability of low cost multi-core processors is
rapidly making single-system image (SSI) Clustering less of a factor in
computing. The direction of computing is clear and key developers are moving
into newer virtualization approaches and other projects.
Isn't SSI a major goal of DragonFly?
