Title: Building Linux
Clusters
Author: David Spector
Publisher: O'Reilly and Associates
ISBN: 1565926250

There is a reason that O'Reilly pulled this book out of
print after only six months, and has not even bothered
to try to fix it and rerelease it. The book was
basically a commercial for the company that the author
ran. It read as if it hadn't been edited, with spelling
and grammar mistakes, and even incorrect graphics (at
one point, the text of the book and the caption of the
graphic refer to the Linux install probing for a video
card, while the picture is a screen shot of the
"Configure networking" screen of the setup). The code
included on the CD was so buggy that it would not even
run without a lot of fixing on the user's part.
In short, don't get this book.
