This book was a great dissapointment. When I was first asked to build a cluster for work I was ecstatic, especially since they purchased this book to help me setup the nodes. Well....it has some nice history in it, but that is all that I can say is good about this book. Not all of the examples work, the screenshots are off (i.e. For the video screenshot they show SCSI driver installation), the scripts do NOT work and have NOT been updated, despite the many postings in errata. I am used to O'reilly putting out quality books, but this one seemed to have been glossed over. The layout is great, but does not have the depth needed. It would be nice if OSA apologized for this great blunder and provided a revised publishing of this book and CD _WITH_ working examples, screenshots, and scripts to all of those who purchased this book.
