[Announce] ANTS-0.4.10

[Jakob Østergaard]

Hi everyone !

A long time ago, in a galaxy far far away, I announced a job distribution
system called "jobd".

That name clashed with another project, so I changed the name to ANTS
(Autonomous Networked Task Scheduler).  This name also reflects that my system
does not use a central scheduler or server - all nodes are equal.

The system accepts jobs (such as compile jobs) on the local node, allocates
a job-slot on the best suited node, and remotely executes the job there. Think
of it as a "clever rsh".

I use the system in production for large compile jobs. I can compile the
Linux-2.4.2 kernel for i686 in 73 seconds on a 9-cpu cluster.

Documentation, .tar.gz and .src.rpm is available at http://unthought.net/antsd/

Comments, suggestions, questions, contributions etc. are welcome of course.

Cheers,
