Linux Distribution Tames Chaos (Wired)

Wired News takes a look at Chaos. "In early 2004, Chaos emerged as a Linux distribution that could be booted from either a CD-ROM or a network. It turned an ordinary Pentium computer into a working openMosix node. OpenMosix is software that is added to the Linux kernel that allows computers running Linux to work together in a cluster. With a cluster of nodes (or PCs) linked together, the master node can serve processes to them, drastically reducing the time needed to complete a specific task -- and without touching the computer's hard drive."
