Re: SAN storage practical list of options
On a slightly different note, I support a large san based off of HP EVA storage (~60tb) attached to a clustered GS320 running Tru64 Unix and another system HP GS1280) attached to the same fabric using an additional 24tb. Also a system running HPUX (two RX8620's) also attached to about 48TB. This is not a cheap solution an probably not what you are looking for, but we have tested RH AS4 with it and love the reliability and speeds we were getting from the EVA's ( a mix of EVA5000 (2gig/s) and EVA8000 (4gig/s) ). What we hate is the footprint. Others have mentioned 9tb in 1u. These are large racks requiring 220v power and lots of cooling. The 60tb is in 5 cabinets (4 for disk and one for the san fabric) and the 24tb is in 3 cabs (smaller disks). The 48tb is in 3 cabs and has it's own rack for the switches. All the above require an SMA (each) running Windows. Real world: Great for speed, redundancy, and reliability. High cost.

Re: which ATI card?
I running openSuSE 10.3 and have an ATI Sapphire card. I do minor gaming and wanted something cheap, but could handle Quake III arena. I downloaded the drivers from ATI and they work perfectly. It has the ability to do dual head, along with SVIDEO out. Draw back, no dvi cables included $70 ATI Sapphire 3650 512MB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102726 der.hans wrote: > moin moin, > > As I posted last week, ATI's new cards are releasing with X drivers. > > http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_evolution&num=1 > > This won't satisfy some of us as they're binary blobs, but the Free > Software drivers can be used as well. > > http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=amd_rv770_oss&num=1 > > Now they're available. > > http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&DEPA=0&Description=HD+4850&cm_sp=HomepageSL-_-AMD4000-_-http%3a%2f%2fpromotions.newegg.com%2famd%2f4000%2f270x120.gif > > Hmm, why does it think that page is a gif? > > Anyway, I'm buying a couple of SDHC cards, so figured I'd pick up a new > video card as well.

Re: DOOM engine for modern Linux systems?
There are several engines which will run all 3 dooms, zdoom is one, vavoom is the other. I have used both and they do work well. Zdoom used to have mouse aiming, but somewhere along the way, it broke. In addition to the above, using Dosemu or Dos box will allow you to play pretty much any of the ID games from that era, provided you have the original software for DOS. On a side note, I found a way to play Rise of the Triad on linux natively as well (called rott-registered.)
