Ah! good advice! I intend to use hd fans (I have
millions of fans in this thing..haha...geek).
However, I'm still anxiously hoping someone can
recommend a RAID controller card that they've had
success with using Mandrake 8.0 final. :(
Are the Promise cards any good? I notice they have
drivers for Red Hat 6.2 and 7.0. I was looking at
they're FastTrak 100 wondering if it would work easily
with Mandrake 8.0.
I know very little about RAID, unfortunately. :(
