If it's not backed up data, it's not important data.

So, the more I look at various ways to lay out my infrastructure, the more I am
thinking about specs for hardware.
Starting with firewalling.
How does one determine the specs for a firewall?
What I mean is:
1. motherboard/CPU - p4? Dual-Core? Intel i3, i5, i7?
2. RAM? 4gb? 8gb? More? 32gb?

Hi Folks,
I've inherited an old RH7 system that I'd like to upgrade to
CentOS6.1 by means of wiping it clean and doing a fresh install.
However, the system has a software raid setup that I wish to keep
untouched as it has data on that I must keep. Or at the very least, TRY
to keep.

Best reason I can think of is application feature deprecation.
If an update contains changes to the default configuration file then the
file will normally be installed with the '.rpmnew' extension.
If an application decides to deprecate and phase out options which you
