For my first project, I want to build a fileserver cluster and for my second project, a print server cluster. Each cluster would comprise of 2 members, a primary and a secondary. For the file server cluster, I want to be able to failover to the secondary server if the primary server fails. For the print server cluster, I want the same thing to happen. Afterwards I'd like to look at clustering Apache webservers, and I'd like to do all of this on FC1 if not on RHEL. I noted on the RH site that they have Clustering software available within the RHEL releases.
