Mandrake, 128 meg of RAM, 200MHz Pentium Pro (yes, we -are- talking Socket 8 here :> ). Runs Amanda for an external DDS-3 changer (desktop backups), Arkeia for an internal DDS-4 single (server backups), with Amanda and Arkeia jobs running simultaneously every night. Works like a champ. -- Daniel Bentley - Network Technician, QSI Corporation (www.qsicorp.com) chown -R us *base*
