Ed, Don't worry about it. I wasn't offended. I have a lot of experience with linux but not on heavy metal servers. I used to have plenty of experience back in the G2/ G3 era (I was also ACE in the Compaq years) but that was back in the time that Compaq was only supporting Windows OSs and SCO. Also the problem is that I don't have the time to "play" with a spare HP/Compaq server ( I have a couple laying around btw). I'll get round to it at some point. I am just asking you chaps because I am sure people out there had the chance to tinker with newer and better equipment.
