That is something I have been confused with too.

Additionally, does Mosix provide, a single SMP style
image? If so, do applications have to be written to
take advantage of this kind of setup, or do generic
applications (i.e. netscape, openoffice, etc.) take
advantage of this distributed system and does Mosix
fork the process over to other nodes??

Cheers!
