Well other than the name, it does not have anything in common with DVD because IIRC it's a Magneto Optical drive ... totally different Tech. Paul

This is a question for you guys out there that have a bunch of similar configured systems out there... How do you handle your updates? I do not mean the technical level, but from the logistics. No updates? Just run yum by cron and grab the latest of the web and trust the developers that it works? Deploy only certain packages automatically (i.e. omit kernel updates)? run your own

I've been planning to build a dual Opteron server for awhile. I'd like to get people's suggestions on a suitable motherboard. I've looked at the Tyan K8SE (S2892) and K8SRE (S2891) but would like to find more Linux-specific experiences with these boards. Some features I expect are at least 4 SATA (SATA-300?) ports, serial console support in the BIOS, USB 2.0 and IEEE-1394

It's all speculation at this point. But there are _several_ factors. But I'm sure the first time Intel saw AMD's x86-64/PAE52 presentation, the same thing popped into my mind that popped

They are _not_ commodity and pricey, and require OS-level support. In fact, I believe Linux 2.6 has some support for

I have 8 WD SATA HDD with raid ready (3mbps) hard disks on a 8 port 3ware controller.(on raid 5.) Does anyone have a comparison on SATA raid and SAS raid disk. As you know SAS disk are very expensive and I would like to know from experts in the list who could suggest which of the following would be the best. Option 1) 2 servers each having 2.0TB raid disk with SAS drives, 2GB ram and standard

Any comments on CentOS 5 on Intel Atom CPUs? I need to build a couple of inexpensive systems that will be used primarily as gateway/firewall systems with OpenVPN, and need recommendations in reliable hardware platforms. These will need two NICs. Bill -- INTERNET: bill at celestial.com Bill Campbell; Celestial Software LLC URL: http://www.celestial.com/ PO Box 820; 6641 E. Mercer Way Voice:
