I get the impression you are trying to avoid a single point of failure, am I right? If that's so then what about having a cluster of at least two machines, there are planty of ready-made such things for Linux floating around and people on this list who know them much better than me.... As for using WD for the disks - not to start a religious war but they at least used to have bad reputation. I got a few recommandations to shell out a little more and get a Maxtor (and with a very little more it also came with an 8Mb cache). As for the dual-cpu requirement - is it a performance requirement? --Amos ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
