This book is the worst ever published by O'Reilly, in my experience. Aside from numerous typos and incorrect diagrams, the core cluster management software on the CD doesn't work.


My only reason for posting another negative review is the hope that O'Reilly will come up with a new version of the CD, and send it to all the reviewers to test before putting out a second edition. In my opinion, the updated CD should be free to anyone who purchased the original book.


If all the errors are corrected, this book would be an extremely valuable and useful reference for anyone interested in Linux clusters.
