''ClusterKnoppix'' is a specialized [[Linux distribution]] based on the [[Knoppix]] distribution, but which uses the openMosix kernel.

Traditionally, [[clustered computing]] could only be achieved by setting up individual [[Remote Shell|rsh]] keys, creating [[Network File System|NFS]] shares, editing host files, setting [[static IP]]s, and applying [[kernel (operating system)|kernel]] [[software patch|patch]]es manually.  ClusterKnoppix effectively renders most of this work unnecessary.  The distribution contains an autoconfiguration system where new ClusterKnoppix-running computers attached to the network automatically join the cluster.

ClusterKnoppix is a modified Knoppix distro using the OpenMosix kernel.
