We're commercial, so we get no part of the trifecta. :( We're paying for the space, electricity, bandwidth, and we bought that 2450 "back in the day" when it was expensive. It's just nice to still have it working for us long after the balance sheet says the hardware is fully depreciated. :) I was expecting to have to tinker with CentOS 5.5 to get it running. But, to my amazement, the LiveCD fired right up - so I dove into the netinstall. The aacraid drivers were there, LVM setup was cake. It was exactly the same as installing on a 2950... just a lot slower. :)
