Additionally explaining the best wasy to provide failover for HPC is also useful.
Gentoo Cluster Handbook
I. Sys Admin Requirements - What reader must know before moving forward
(maybe describe clustering types here?)
i) Networking options etc.
ii) Disked vs Diskless
iii) more...
II. SysAdmin for Clusters - tools/support servers/etc
III. HA Clustering -
i) web/email
ii) failover/etc
iii) mySQL clusters
IV. HPC Clustering - batch processing/etc
i) MPICH
ii) Distributed Compiling? distcc
iii) Distributed rendering pvmpovray
V. Intro to MPI - Merge the other MPI howto and add some?
We need to cover all the different methods and possibly a comparison.
Opinions?

I agree; different topics different sections.
I'd like to see something like:
Gentoo Cluster Handbook
I. Sys Admin Requirements - What reader must know before moving forward
(maybe describe clustering types here?)
II. SysAdmin for Clusters - tools/support servers/etc
III. HA Clustering - web/email failover/etc
IV. HPC Clustering - batch processing/etc
V. Intro to MPI - Merge the other MPI howto and add some?
And of course each volume is full of useful information
