Runs RedHat 7.1 + patches. (new kernel, etc.) their NFS implementation was crap; we had no end of trouble with it spontaneously failing to respond, throwing errors, etc. we sent their $10,000 box back; built one from spare parts that works perfectly so far, with eminently fewer problems. (almost none, in fact). Raidzone boxen are for companies that don't have a linux admin on hand. If you know enough to set up your own NFS server (and perhaps LVM); you're about on a par with their work. -- Carl Soderstrom Systems Administrator Real-Time Enterprises www.real-time.com _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota Help beta test TCLUG's potential new home: http://plone.mn-linux.org Got pictures for TCLUG?
