There are the old FAQ and HOWTO's (still some relevant background 
information):

http://www.canonical.org/~kragen/beowulf-faq.txt
http://yara.ecn.purdue.edu/~pplinux/PPHOWTO/pphowto.html#toc1
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Beowulf-HOWTO.html

There are other links at ClusterWorld.com (on the right side, scroll down)
that may be useful.

Now is a good time to announce my effort to update the FAQ (and possibly
the HOWTO).  Starting next week, I plan on updating the FAQ by using the
ClusterWorld.com site as a place to collect questions and answers. Stay
tuned.

Of course ClusterWorld magazine is designed to provide this type of 
information as well.

IMO, this is not a good book for HPC clusters.
