I've been wanting Linux which can boot Linux for a long time.
See http://www.bitmover.com/ml for some slides on why, for those of you
who are guess, yes it is the same OS cluster idea for SMP scaling I've
been pushing on for 7 years.  It's finally getting some attention as
well, the IBM guys are looking at it, a FreeBSD guy is looking at it,
and the UML guy thinks he can do a UML implementation in such a way 
that putting it on real hardware would be a "simple" port.
