... and as of June 2005, MS retires 2000 - at least thats the projected date. You have to know and realize this. In addition, if you went back to NT - you would also know you are on your own being that MS stopped support about a year ago. It's really very simple. Get 2 SCSI drives that are alike, that will most likely halt your issies. If you doubt that - pick up ANY Server+ or A+ book. Hell - search Google and see what diff SCSI drives and diff speeds will do to. The answer is so plain, it's so simple - yet, you refuse to consider the obvious - you give a doubting Thomas a bad name. -- Best regards, Chris You may know where the market is going, but you can't possibly know where it's going after that. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
