At Cornell, we've been having any new systems built by CSI in
CO....VERY solid systems, and NO problems. Cornell last year
negotiated special pricing with Dell, and the "bean counter" in my
dept. thought that we should get a Dell for our new server....I didn't
have much choice. It's a Poweredge 2300...nice black metal case, LOTS
of air flow with good fans, etc., etc. However, it has an Adaptec
7890 embedded on the MOB (NOT my choice for a controller for sure).
SuSE 5.3 will NOT "see" the 2 Segate Baracudas. I called SuSE in CA
today to find out if that controller is supported, and I was told that
I could call tech. support tomorrow after 11:00 pacific time.
Wonderfull.....the sales dept. can't tell me if 6.0 is going to
support this controller. Redhat 5.2 does ship with the
driver...already checked on that. I'd like to put 6.0 on the "beast,"
but I'm not going to wait for a driver that SHOULD have shipped with
5.3. Oh yes...forgot. Dell has "cut" a deal with Redhat......oh
well.
