Speaking of this issue, actually I'm planning to setup a box with a 24 SATA HDDs RAID5 array on a dual Opteron box intended to run Subversion to handle huge video files before this year end. I'm still afraid of using Gentoo because I'm not that yet convinced on it's stability especially when dealing file servers. I don't want to gamble and take a risk of my terabytes files but I also know that taking a risk is part of our life. Honestly, I'm choosing between Gentoo and CentOS 4.1. Good luck. --- Linux GNUbie <gnubieATgmailDOTcom> -- [email protected] mailing list
