Distributed computing

Question posted by: Rambaldi (Member) on March 31st, 2008 04:44 PM
This might be a dumb question, but i gotta do it :D

In a distributed computing, can the machines have different OS??? If yes, its something that is worth to do? i mean, can i have problems for building a distributed computing with diferent OS?
