allow them to "obey God/parents" first before they have to be totally

RAID5 - MBR and default grub config on CentOS 4
greetings,
i just know i have read several times on this list and in other places that
on a RAID5 array that the MBR should be placed on the /boot partition.
is this truly correct and if so, why?
my experiences of putting the MBR on the /boot partition are contrary to
that it will even work and boot that way...
comments please?
regards,

server exercising, stressing, and/or testing
greetings
would someone please point me to an excellent server exercising, stressing,
and/or testing program that will run on centos 4?
i want one that will not out and out destroy a machine so to speak...
...meaning testing is one thing, yet pounding a box in the hard drive
department over and above the cause or unnecessarily does not appeal to me.
fyi the box i want to test/stress this time
