Dear Centos users, I am not sure if this the correct place to post but it seems sensible. I have an 8 node cluster which I want to install/configure Centos. As I am not a sys-admin, can anyone advise me on what I should do?

Any suggestions appreciated.

What do you mean by "cluster"? Is this for high-availability (H/A), or load balancing for very heavy traffic, or high performance computing? Each is different.

Or, these days there is even a category of distributed databases like riak that work across a group of machines, and only the app needs to be set up for clustering.
