Linux-HA is a set of packages to provide high-availability clustering 
features for any Linux distro.  Linux-HA ships with Conectiva and SuSE, 
Debian and other distributions.

So, with the Linux-HA packages (heartbeat, et al) installed you can make a 
service highly-available by having it fail over to another computer in the 
cluster.

The current version is limited to two-node clusters, although we are in the 
process of writing software to eliminate that restriction.

Does this help?
