I'm not familiar enough with Linux to know whether it is capable of running a clustered environment, but that's what you need to use for Parallel Server. As far as the books to get, the only one I've seen that's detailed enough to be of use in configuring, installing and maintaining OPS is the Parallel Server manual. I would definitely get that one, if nothing else.
