May I humbly suggest that this is an unfortunate statement/attitude.. If Linux is to succeed at the corporate/business level it must be perceived as "easier" than windows. Being "cheap" does not cut it if you have to hire a team of "experts" to just get up and running, update programs or such..

Folks, Ok, here is where I'm at and it does not look to good.. On the Memory front I ran DocMemory over night (15+ hours) and it has passed 13 iterations of the test sequence. I had also run memtest86 and it did show some problems. I had called Cruial and they had recommended DocMemory..

Fred, Thanks for the thoughts... I'll investigate.. I have run memtest and MemoryDoc (or is it DocMemory??) the memtest86 did appear to report a problem in the test #6, I then called Crucial and they ask me to run the DocMemory tester.. The quick test passed, I'm running the "BurnIn" all
