Beowulf vs Linux-HA

[Grok Mogger <linuximp@gmail.com>]

Hey everyone,

I have never setup or even seen a Beowulf cluster in action. 
But just understanding the concept, it seems like a great way to 
have a highly available and load balancing cluster.  If high 
availability is the goal, what's better?  A Beowulf cluster or 
something like Linux-HA?

Let's say I wanted to have a highly available apache server, and 
I didn't even really care about load balancing.  That would just 
be icing.  What would be better?  Something like the Linux-HA 
project's Heartbeat software, or a Beowulf cluster?

Thanks,
- GM
