I'll give you a fiver for them

Most of my network and server gear is Compaq, with some modern enough to be HP branded compaq

Ended up with an intel switch as its cheap!

The 2950's I ordered a couple of months ago have SAS. The RAID-10's bench very well.

Causing me a little pain in that I'm trying to clone a system onto them that's coming from SCSI. Still, I'll live with it, and the performance difference is measurable so meh.

2950's, thats the puppies I ordered too. And yes, they do bench very well with Raid 10.

Never seen one with BSD so couldn't comment there. No problems with Red Hat/Suse/Gentoo/Debian though in my experience. Maybe I've just been lucky

We use HP stuff at work pretty exclusively at our School, from desktop workstations to servers. Had no idea what SAS disks were though, not kept up with technology as much as I used to though with the amount of free time I get in work now I should probably make the effort to try and catch up.

My Dell box hated Mandrake/Mandriva linux (it's just stop dead after 10-15 minutes) but got on fine with Red Hat. Never got around to trying Gentoo on it.

Oh, and best not mention RAID 10 to Beansprout. He's had two RAID 10 controllers and arrays and both of them self-destructed.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine as children do. It's not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own lights shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
