I fail understand what 'clustering' means. Is it as in 'Microsoft
Cluster Server'? 'Microsoft Cluster Server' is (it says here) a
technology in 'Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Enterprise Edition' (wonder what
that means) which allows a server to have a 'backup server', so that if
the first server crashes, the second server can keep on (they share the
same hard disk via SCSI). But Linux doesn't crash, so why should we have
it? Well, perhaps Linus does...

Anyway, what does clustering mean in this context?
