6. Other services for a mosix cluster.

Its generally a good idea to have NFS configured, unless you're using MFS. The debian packages nfs-kernel-server and nfs-user-server provide the NFS packages.

Its also a good idea to have an arp server in a mosix network. The debian package arpd can be used to setup an ARP server.

Mosix works very well with diskless workstations, and the debian package diskless provides an easy and convenient way to install diskless clients. http://www.infofin.com/~gandalf/articles/diskless_debian.txt and the README.Debian in the diskless package are a good starting point to start setting up diskless Debian clients.
