Well, people will be retrieving the data, analyzing it, etc. Plus we allow them to conduct crawls for potential relevant data as well. At home, sort of, my garage. We really have no need for office space with everything that can be done remote now-a-days. I really dont want to rent a rack someplace as the cost is way up there and if I do it myself I always know the status of the equipment, quality of hardware, etc. I also get the burden of every problem too, I realize. Yes, I am thinking about dedicated power, backup generators, cooling, etc. Thanks for the YouTube link, looks helpful. -Jason _______________________________________________ CentOS mailing list CentOS@centos.org http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos
