Hello Andreas,


  I looked at this a few months ago and ended up with a
compiled CHAOS version to do the job, but couldn't get it
to run against the Windows coLinux daemon/service.

  Wim (of ClusterKnoppix, and maybe Thane of Cordor) 
looked at it recently, and had one coLinux'd version of 
CHAOS running under Windows, and another CHAOS 
running under VMware under Linux ... in the same cluster.

  I haven't had time, but I am looking to make space to 
reproduce Wim's work, and then to get an Installer 
together to release it.


  I'm on both sets of devel lists, so wherever you want to
talk about this is cool, but we should prolly not x-link all
of  these lists ...

>   - on amun we ran the openmosix stress test (see
>     http://www.openmosixview.com/omtest/ ); a bunch of processes originating
>     from amun migrated to the vm and the test finished without flaws or errors
>     (afaics).
>   - even when we shut down the vm during a test run, there was no problem. it
>     expelled the processes it was hosting an they continued on amun.
