I have red around that MOSIX... It's just like I wished... but for linux!

It's clear, that codes can not be run on different platforms. But on the
same platform, machines could do very similar things like MOSIX do, also
preserving it's portability. This is becouse MOSIX also uses IP to send
pockets through the LAN. In NetBSD's case - as I know - all of the programs
have to use the same kernel functions (which could also be redirected), on
any kind of platform, making aplications portable. So this MOSIX could be
also ported to many different platforms, just it would have to be built into
the kernel.
Am I right?

But is there any kind of MOSIX like network clustering method available to
NetBSD, right now?
