Hello, The Promise Raid controller is the onboard 20378 one. It is a software raid. The 2.4 kernel module made it look like a true raid to the os but the 2.6 kernel module views it just as 2 separate disks so we have to set up s/w raid manually which is working quite ok actually. So back to the selection of OS? Which one is better ""server"" OS if there is any such differentiation? ---------------------------------------------------- Hi,

I'm not one of the experts, but if you're talking about a SATA RAID controller (hardware RAID), you'd do well to check if the particular controller you're using is supported and works well. We were looking at getting the Promise FastTrak S150 SX4, but having it work with SUSE 9.x wasn't/isn't quite ready yet (they are/were testing beta drivers).
