I suggest we try to put the documentation together on gentoo-wiki.com I've always found this site an excellent resource.
There are already two stubs which I feel we should build on and kyron has compiled an excellent list of programs if you follow the links.
http://gentoo-wiki.com/Index:HOWTO#Build_a_Gentoo_High_Performance_Cluster
I suggest we start Build a Gentoo High Availability Cluster.
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/cluster/
This is the gentoo cluster page and we only have three How To's All of which have floors I've kept tabs on problems I've run into with the HPC howto and distcc howto. I feel we should keep openMosix separate and have a completely separate set of Howto's for that.
My clusters are generally diskless nodes so I suggest we try to incorporate this howto into the gentoo-wiki
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/diskless-howto.xml
Though this also has it's fair share of difficulties.
I'm prepared to share a certain amount of my work on this. It would be nice to make this documentation easily understandable for all and I'm always up for people adding where they run into problems and WHY into these sort of documents.
I'm looking carefully at HA diskless nodes and ways in which to ensure redundancy if the master node fails. Suggestions on this would be welcomed.
How many people would be interested in helping out with this. If you've read this far it must be because it's a Friday afternoon so anything can distract you!
Cheers

i have a functioning high availability cluster with heartbeat, drbd
and drbdlinks (highly recommend, wish it were in the gentoo packages
repository).
some of my work is documented (piecemeal) at http://bbix.biz/tavi,
but i'd be happy to flesh it out more and answer any questions, give
sample config files, etc.
