[luau] Two computers working as one

[Jan Daniel Semrau]

If you want to set that up, you should have a look at 
Clusterknoppix, which does clustering in a convenient and 
easy way. Moreover, it is AFAIR based on openMosix, so 
every application potentially benefits from the clustering as it is a 
Kernel extension instead of Cluster software like
Beowulf or Globus where applications need to be created for. 
In my opinion, you should not just jump on the clustering bandwagon as 
there are some drawbacks and pitfalls included. 
For example a 10MBit network can be a bottleneck. 

Hope it helps, Jan
