Anyone here ever dealt with ASL (aslab.com)??? [ First time poster so shoot me for cross-posting if you want. ;->>> ] Formerly Advanced System Labs, now just ASL, Inc. (http://www.aslab.com). I'm looking at buying a server soon. I was blown away on their pre-sales staff's promptness in a reply (just a matter of hours), the knowledge (not only new the components I was talking about, but details on their availability and support in the 2.2/2.4 kernels, mainboard memory-I/O issues, etc...), and the pricing was very fair (awaiting a final quote). I had previously (over the past 1-2 months) posted on various lists, contacted other vendors (like VA) and had gotten little feedback -- e.g., with the vendors, I felt like I knew more technically. But I found out ASL sold a system based on the Tyan S1867DLUAN mainboard I cannot seem to find anywhere else. They also seem to carry all the options I want (all of them). Again, anyone ever dealt with them before??? Thanx in advance ... -- Bryan "TheBS" Smith Lead Computer Geek, Theseus Logic P.S. Anyone running NFS v3 on a production system? How about with ReiserFS? With a pre-release 2.4.x kernel? Opinions??? This thing is going to serve out 500GB over both SMB/NFS and need maximum performance for large file writes (I know, wait for XFS, but I need this by July) plus I don't feel like watching an FSCK for 8-10 hours. ;->>> -- Bryan "TheBS" Smith -- Engineer, IT Professional and Hacker E-mail: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED],[EMAIL PROTECTED] Disclaimer: http://www.SmithConcepts.com/legal.html ************************************************************* TheBS ...
