Sure. But you have to change the pid type in the kernel and  and and and and

The point here is that with fairly trivial mods to a few programs you
can build a cluster management suite that unix or windows based
cluster tools can not really touch.

But you don't have gcc. That's an issue. Not kidding here. Don't have
