Charlie: I have to jump in on this one: Adaptec Raid Controllers. They have a Linux driver for 2.2.16, but none for 2.2.19 -- in other words, only the major point releases of RH. I have such a server, and know of 5 more. Regards, Tom Charlie Brady wrote: On Fri, 15 Feb 2002, Jaime

I would like to suggest some sort of rating scheme, in which those users successful or unsuccessful in implementing a mod could: rate it from 1 to n for (a) installability; (b) manageability; (c) features, etc. Also, a place for noting any problems, bugs, or praise. If a number of people were
