Hi Steve,
Yes, the PERC S100 and PERC S300 is a fakeraid. (softwareraid)
Any kind of softwareraid with linux is a terrible idea.

Hi Emmanuel,
my suggestion is to use CentOS with Dell Poweredge servers. All Dell Poweredge

server.
Best regards,
Morten

Hi.

apt preferences to pin specific packages to squeeze)

Dependable on what you want,
If you want one of the new raid cards in your server, H700 or H200 (I've
even heard the S100 and S300 have problems with debian) You don't want
Debian, or you want Debian Squeeze.
When you go for a server in the R x10 serie, you will most likely face

Hi,
Reading this list, I sometimes see threads complaining about
