I believe the ISO 550 Installation requires > 2.9.xx, not 2.3.40, but I could be wrong. We have been using 2.9.36. > Two questions. > > 1) What Raq4 rom versions are compatible with the Raq4 and the Raq550 O/Ss? The ROM version will be changed once installation is complete, we have had no problems with any previous ROM versions. Beware! changing ROM can be hazerdous, we have replaced 120+ ROMs over the past year or so. For some unexpalined reason, the upgrade, sometimes does not complete properly. One error seems to be that when the CD restore process ask for the hardware, there is a natural inclanation to enter RaQ550, be sure to enter, in your case RaQ4. > 2) Is the Raq550 o/s on Raq4 suitable for production use? We have been running RaQ550 OS on production servers (raqware.com) since September 2002, and have had no problems, other than the kernel patches. Thanks to Duncan Laurie (http://cobalt.iceblink.org) and Brian Smith (http:/nuonce.net) this hurtle has been 'jumped'. We have also sold and refurbished dozens of RaQ3/4s running RaQ550 OS. > My Raq4s have 256Mb Ram and 30Gb disks. More RAM would be helpful, but unless your server is very busy, probably not neessary.
