Thanks, that is just what I wanted to see.  I'll pass these links back
along the chain that reached me.

A question for the group in general.  Some of the things I have recently
read suggest that linux might perform better with RAID in software on
the U2W hot-swap array available in e.g. the PowerEdge series than on a
commercial RAID, SMP or not but especially SMP.  Is this true to
anyone's experience?  It would be amusing, in a proper test, to beat NT
on a 6300 using four relatively inexpensive Cheetahs on the two onboard
U2W controllers.  It certainly would make a MAJOR difference in the
price/performance.
