BTW, The hardware for this system will be a compaq DL380 series server. It has 5 ultra2 scsi 9.1 gig drives. I did not know if ultra2 scsi presented any advantage when considering freebsd or Debian or not.
Any info on this is appriciated! http://www5.compaq.com/products/servers/proliantdl380/description.html#keyfeat Thanks, Ashby Gochenour NTELOS NOC > *BSD is quite good. I use it whene forced to.
