Theres Clustering, and theres clustering.  Linux doesn't have a true
'Cluster' product[1], but there are many solutions which 'cluster'
together various machines (eg, Beowulf)

A good URL to start with under Linux would be:

	http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-1999-02/lw-02-clustering.html

( Note, any clustering solution which doesn't treat the cluster as one
  filesystem/memory space/pid space with really easy scaling isn't really
  a Cluster ;) )
