You may look into gkrellm at http://www.gkrellm.net/. It looks like they would be using the daemon version and you can monitor them on the one of your choice .... freshrpms.net has rpms of it ( these are optimized for RedHat)

most definetly possible.
here is how i did it.
follow these step by step instructions to get openmosix to work beautifully

openmosix for debian (libranet distro)
1. get a vanilla kernel that can has a corisponding patch from openmosix.sourceforge.net.
2. patch that kernel with either
"patch -p1 /location/of/the/patch/" (make sure you are in the top source level i.e. /usr/src/linux) or

3.downloading a deb (apt-get install kernel-patch-openmosix)that installs the "/kernel-patches/i386/apply/' directory with the kernel patch for openmosix under the"/apply/" directory. its use is while in your top source linux kernel directory (/usr/src/linux) is
"../kernel-patches/i386/apply/openmosix"
4. now that the kernel is patched (make xconfig or menuconfig or config or whatever...)
5. make the kpkg clean(make-kpkg clean)
6. make the kernel (make-kpkg --append-to-version=.(whatever date it is i just put '112103') kernel_image modules_image
7. install the kernel and make sure it boots up (check with uname -r)
8. edit your '/etc/hosts' file so it includes all the ip's of the computers you will be connecting too including yours so i have mine set up for two computers with there lan ips (192.168.0.xx) than names. mine looks like this:

192.168.0.28 seconkmd localhost.localdomain
192.168.0.30 libranet

9. than edit the /etc/openmosix.map so it includes all the openmosix nodes..
mine looks like this:

1 192.168.0.28 1
2 192.168.0.30 1

10. now i must warn you, your not out of the forest yet. edit your openmosix file in /etc/init.d/openmosix. it is imperitative that you do this right. it will save you some time . edit the instance(s) of '/var/lock/subsys' to make them 'var/lock' instead. and change the '/proc/mosix/' to '/proc/hpc'

11. boom thats it... i think, well anyhow thats i made my cluster now just restart linux and boot up your new openmosix boxe(s)
