When trying to build a Linux cluster for the first time, the web can be a daunting place to try to find useful information. That is the main point of this site -- to try to help organize what is out there in some sort of not confusing way. However, sometimes a book is the most comforting way for a person to learn something -- I know that when I first started with Linux clustering, I went out, bought a book, read it cover to cover, was mad at how bad it was, and then I hit the web to search for useful info. :)
However, even the bad books are helpful, as they give you an idea of what kind of information you might need to build your cluster. In that spirit, we are presenting a list of books here which should help you in your learning about Linux clustering. Keep in mind, though, that some of these books are not very good -- we recommend checking out reviews of the books whenever you can to see what other people thought. If one person disliked it, that may not mean much, but if 10 people do, discretion may be advisable.
Due to the fact that There are other things involved in building a cluster than just how to build a cluster, we are presenting a variety of books on different subjects that will probably be helpful to you.
