So then it doesn't assign each threard to a specific processor? My computer
is great except for when I have something like eight windows open or am
running xmms. I was hoping that a clustered server would like assign xmms or
each window to a processor.

Because of the learning benefits I think that I will build the cluster anyway.
It seems that knoppixcluster will not allow me to learn much (aside from the
fact that I will have to run it as Knoppix).
Oops. I just went to the home page and it only has RPMs. So I wilkl google
"mosix debian" and.... vwalla! There's how to apt-get it! Thank you all for
helping me learn to be self-suffiecent!
But anyways, why won't it assign xmms to it's own processor?.... Or will it?
