Hi,
I'm looking for dedicated server providers whose rates are low, support
Gentoo and most importantly are reliable. Service should be stable.
Location is not important, but preferable in EU.

So, make sure that raid support and automatic detection and any other
disk related modules are compiled right into the kernel. In fact, I
prefer w/o any initrd, all critical stuff right into the kernel.

I have a dot matrix printer. Since it prints ASCII text, I used lpr
output.txt
and it prints large size text. Large in the sense, the thing which fits
in one single page if printed using kwrite goes into 1.5 pages.

While citing my experience about building gentoo on a server, you have
to do the things invisibly, so you can't see what the kernel emits befor
panic.
It turned out that I'd disabled RAID autodetection and wasn't using an
initramfs either (which will load the arrays using mdadm).

are both not mentioned them , so I wish you all could instruct me.
Kernel module names are usually named according to a specific naming
scheme like .ko
So here, 3c59x.ko is 3COM 59X device. 3COM ethernet cards are quite
common.

IMHO, you don't need antivirus on a Linux box, unless you're going to
run a mail relay, where you are responsible for saving recipents from
viruses.
The simplest reason of all is, Linux doesn't know how to execute
Windows binaries.
