We just installed a 2650 with a single 2GHz zeon and 3- 36GB drives on raid 5 . No problems yetbut you are worrying me a bit. Redhat 8.0 installed. It is primarily a samba file server with only about 50 users. Bret -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
