It will probably take you a few tries to get it just like you want it, since you've never used Linux before. Go for the minimal install (is that still an option?), then add just those packages necessary to get you going... the samba* stuff, raid*, etc. Unfortunately, this goes along with having experience using the operating system. > Also, do you know if Linux can support Raid 5 easily or is it a pain in > the butt to get setup properly? Support is good. Obviously, you'll want to research your options and make an educated choice. If you're going with software RAID, you'll be fine, but most folks will tell you to do hardware RAID. If you do, make sure you find a vendor that supports Linux and offers cards that rebuild on the fly. -- Jason Dixon, RHCE DixonGroup Consulting http://www.dixongroup.net -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
