I think, as a happy user of FAI, that FAI is a very good tool for what you want to do. It is very fast and extremely flexible. Its downside is that the configuration takes a while and requires skripting skills. There is also a newer project called m23 (m23.sourceforge.net). It features a web-based configuration system and, other than FAI, also does administration and upgrades. I have not tried it so far. Both of the above tools perform a real installation, as opposed to copying an installation image and adapting that. Regards, uLI pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature

According to Wietse Venema, the postfix author, postfix queues are considered a non-published internal interface which is subject to change. In an email to postfix-users from Sep. 16. 2003 he says: "MAILSCANNER MANIPULATES POSTFIX MAIL USING UNSUPPORTED METHODS. THEREFORE DO NOT USE MAILSCANNER." (Wietse's capitalisation, not mine).

You can read the alarm log and query the status of the controller with the command line administration tool (tw_cli), which you can download from the 3ware website. It is a statically linked binary which you can run during installation. In addition to that, I read that there is a critical firmware update for the 8506-series controllers in RAID 5 configurations.
