I have an older model at home that I picked up on eBay a couple months ago, after reading an article about upgrading the hard drives. After configuring and testing it, I couldn't find a shutdown command, and when I just flip the power switch it shuts down cleanly and then reboots fine when I turn it on. All I had to do was yank out the tiny drives (I think they were maybe 5 GB each) and drop in a 100 GB drive, and then tell it to reformat the drive through the web interface. I checked out a weblog discussing the upgrade before I bought mine; apparently the older model I went with (a SnapServer 2000) has Linux in flash rom, and the hard drives can just be swapped out with no extra effort. The newer models apparently store the OS on the hard drive, and nobody on the weblog had reported any success in upgrading them. I believe those were the 1000 and 1100 series. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix ICQ 28611923 / AIM abreauj / JABBER [EMAIL PROTECTED] / YAHOO abreauj Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99 "An idealist is just a farsighted pragmatist." -Anon
