openMosix on SL?

Hi all,

I'm running SL on a set of Athlon64 x2 boxes in a small-college,  
teaching environment.  I ran across a link today to openMosix, which  
sounds at least like a beautiful idea that would turn most any  
heterogeneous cluster into a SMP-like machine.  I'm writing to  
inquire if anyone using SL has also installed openMosix.  I'm  
comfortable with building software, configuring MPICH etc, but  
configuring/compiling a new kernel (which openMosix seems to require)  
goes beyond my experience.

(1) my machine is:

[root@sebastopol temp]# uname -a
Linux sebastopol 2.6.9-42.0.2.ELsmp #1 SMP Tue Aug 22 17:26:55 CDT  
2006 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux

Should openMosix work with this system (particularly the 2.6 kernel  
part)

(2) once installed, would openMosix allow MPICH to run on top of the  
SMP system?


regards.

Nathan Moore
