Naughty, naughty. Tell Outlook Express to send email in plain text
format. HTML mail to mailing lists is rude.

Multiple computers used to perform a task. Tends to involve either
load-balancing (spreading the task across machines), failover (when the
primary machine fails operation transparently fails over to another
machine) or both.

Quite simply have two disks instead of one. Whatever you write to the
disk gets written to both. If one disk fails, keep using the other.

RAID : Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks.

RAID 0 : Mirroring. Requires 2 disks.
RAID 1 : Striping. Data is striped across disks.
RAID 5 : Stripe + parity : data is striped across disks, if a disk fails
data loss is avoided because the missing data can be reconstructed from
the contents of the other disks.

This looks like a homework assignment. You may want to visit
www.linux-ha.org. There are many resources there.
