We are looking to implement a clustered web server solution. Several
webservers would connect to a MySQL server.  I would like input on the
following:

1. Which would be the cleanest/most reliable method of configuration:
	A. 3-4 mirrored servers where a change on the master is replicated
to the others.
	B. 3-4 servers accessing a shared RAID system (either NFS/GFS/etc)
to share the docroot

2. Which distribution would support this configuration the cleanest/easiest?
Caldera/RedHat/Debian   and Why?

3. What hardware would be recommended? Currently they are 1-2 processor
P3-550/600 with 1GB RAM

I really appreciate the help I have received from the list. We have some
time right now, so I want to make sure we are doing the best implementation
we can.
