Is adding Mosix to K12LTSP really a good idea?
The things that concern me are:

1.) More bandwidth intensive.  In some environments bandwidth is already
a concern, especially places using donated hardware.  Doesn't Mosix put 
more stress on the network?

2.) If Mosix migrates a process to a client, and someone turns off that 
client, the process dies.  Is this a good thing?

3.) Applying kernel patches to tested kernels.  Red Hat does a lot of 
testing to the kernels they release, and from my experience they are 
very stable.  Releasing patched versions of these kernels, or worse, 
going with the stock kernel patched, really negates a huge benefit of 
basing LTSP on Red Hat.
