>Lots of people try to use openMosix as a kind of compile farm, ofthen they
come back very disappointed.
This chapter of the howto will try to explain in which cases your
compilations will benefit from openMosix and how to improve your
successlevel.</P

>First of all you have to remember 1 thing.
openMosix will not migrate <EM
>all</EM
> processes you start on
your cluster, only
the ones that will benefit from migration to another node. For compiling
this means that a process has to last long enough. Kernel compiles
typically consist of numerous short compiles, each of them not being long
enough to acutally migrate. </P
