     For me, it would mostly be the basics.  What applications can be
run from a high-availability (HA) cluster?  Are there any apps that
shouldn't be?  What's the minimum & recommended hardware requirements
one would need?  What HA software would one load on GNU/Linux system for
this?  (I'd especially be interested in the Cluster Suite that comes
with Red Hat Enterprise Linux.)  How's it configured?  How's it
monitored?  Any gotchas?
     I've been exposed to Veritas Cluster Services through my employer;
they sent us to a month-crammed-into-1-week training session almost 3
years ago and considered us `trained enough`.  Needless to say, I don't
feel comfortable on the subject.
     Despite my small bit of knowledge about Veritas Cluster Services, I
know nothing about `native` GNU/Linux offerings.

     That would be great!
