LVS is a very good software package that is constantly under development and use. linux-ha.org works with LVS collaboratively. http://oscar.openclustergroup.org/tiki-index.php OSCAR is another open source project for cluster builds you should look at. If you want an easy cluster to setup and administer I would look at ClusterKnoppix which is based on the Knoppix liveCD with OpenMosix clustering integrated. This should make for a pretty easy install/setup http://bofh.be/clusterknoppix/

Clustering is one of those terms which maybe a bit over-used in computing. OpenMosix is not a tool that will supply HA, it is a load sharing system. If an OpenMosix node dies then data is lost, plain & simple. Infact right now a process running under OM is susceptible to loss of the original node _or_ the node the data moves too.
