| OpenMosixKnoppix didn't quite sound good, so I called it ClusterKnoppix ;) Q: What made you decide to create ClusterKnoppix?
A: Because I wanted an easy way to demo openmosix Q: How is ClusterKnoppix any better than cluster software xxx
A: ClusterKnoppix was not designed to be better than any other offerings, it was designed to get a cluster up and running in no time without having to be installed on the harddrive. You could demo it in an office full of cubicles without messing up the windows settings. How cool is that? What is Knoppix?
