38Mb and xorg-x11 seems a bit too much for a "simple" heartbeat, no ?

That version of heatbeat is probably not the best one to use ... how about trying the 2.0.8 version in the testing repository (it has the heartbeat-gui split out).

also, nx is not good, so whatever it supples should come from something else ...

I am working right now with the Linux-HA project lead (Alan Robertson) to get version-2.1.2 out as soon as they release it. There was an install problem in 2.1.1 (not CentOS specific) ... however, there is a fairly well testing one here that might be better than 2.0.8 here:

(or substitute 5 for 4 if necessary)

Or wait 1-2 days for 2.1.2 ... we are REALLY close now :D
