There are basically two types of clustering:
High-performance clusters (BeoWulf - basically using several computers to
get one task done much faster than a single computer could do it)
and high-availability clusters (basically having several computers taking
care of the same functions so if one of them breaks, the services will
keep running; in Red Hat Linux, piranha takes care of this type of
clustering).

linux-ha.org and beowulf.org are probably good places to start.
