My college instructor got this for me so I could learn and teach clustering. I've had to do so much digging on this stuff that it wasn't funny. The book is fine, and it walks you through things to my satisfaction. It has lots of helpful programs too. However, the scripts for installation are horrific. The procedures in the book don't work the way they should, because the CD isn't quite right. I am glad I wasn't the one who bought this book. The other down side is that you don't learn the manual way to set things up. The reality of it is, I want to know how to build clusters with whatever version of linux I may find. If the CD weren't so messed up, I'd say this is a good book for beginning clusters, but as is... find something else. |
