Welcome to the LinuxPMI Project

What is LinuxPMI?

• LinuxPMI is a set of Linux kernel patches implementing process "migration" over a network. its goal is to allow you to move a program from your machine to another machine, run it there for a while, and return it without it ever knowing it was gone.
• LinuxPMI is derived from the failed, now dead OpenMosix 2.6 branch.

What are we up to?

• The major work here is on the patch commentaries, as we document the current 2.6.17 & 2.6.28.7 patch sets.
• We're using git as a Version Control System, so for directions on downloading and building, read the Git LinuxPMI HOWTO.
• We've documented a LinuxPMI Kernel Testing Procedure.
• Users interested in testing LinuxPMI should read the Users Guide.
• Our TODO list -- A good place for incoming developers to start at!
• Status -- The last tested status of various versions.
• Frequently Asked Questions go here.
• Join us on irc on freenode at irc.freenode.net #LinuxPMI!
• Our  Mailing List -- Courtesy of shogunx.

We've been progressively breaking up the 2.6.17 patches as we commentary them, and working on the 2.6.28.7 branch forward ported by g_remlin, as its commentaried. Guidelines on patch quality levels have been developed for use in this effort.

Old OpenMosix 2.6 PRE-ALPHA Stuff

• The old upstream OpenMosix 2.6 Wiki is at  http://howto.krisbuytaert.be/openMosixWiki/index.php/OpenMosix2.6 .
• Thanks to joejaxx, the files that were originally at  http://openmosix.unfreeze.net/releases/ are partially preserved
