Back in the 8.x and 9.x, heartbeat and stonith (shoot the
other node in the head) were part of the all of the
"SusE _._ Professional" distros.  I was disappointed to
not see it in 10.1.

My personal experience with HA systems have been a Sequent
Cluster I used to admin in the 90's, and indirect dealings
as assistant supervisor at the General Motors Supercomputing
site for about a year in 2001/2002 (then GM layed me off,
then the US Army mobilized me).
