I just got one of these myself. I've been pretty happy with it so far.

How about something running XFCE? I've never used it before, but isn't it
"lighter" than a distro using Gnome/KDE? Less graphics and less libraries,
etc? Would XFCE still run Flash and FireFox?

Jason,
It sounds like a config/driver issue. If there was an arbitrated loop or
hardware issue you would most likely not see LUNs at all.
Not any experience with CentOS, but this seems like issues we've had
with Linux (RHEL and Solaris, even Windows) before.
Also haven't used Brocade HBA,
