ClusterKnoppix is a modified Knoppix distro using the OpenMosix kernel.

Here are some key features of "ClusterKnoppix":
OpenMosix terminal server - uses PXE, DHCP and tftp to boot linux clients via the network.
No cdrom drive/harddisk/floppy needed for the clients
openMosix autodiscovery - new nodes automatically join the cluster (no configuration needed)
Cluster Management tools - openMosix userland/openMosixview Every node has root access to every other node via ssh/RSAkeys
MFS/dfsa support
Every node can run full blown X (PC-room/demo setup) or console only (more memory available)
