Just a quick comment, I will say that I did try to install Debian stable
on this same server and the process was painful. In that once the install
was done I had a server that would load a kernel and begin to boot, then
panic and halt. Repeatedly. It never booted once.

So I then figured this was karma whispering into my ear that UNIX is what
I know ( Solaris ) and so, stay there. That explains why I looked to OpenBSD
and also because I knew SSH would "just work"(tm) as well as security.
I will say that this mail list rocks. People are right on top of things
and I was just really amazed, seriously whip lash induced speed reaction
amazed at how fast people replied to me.
I figure that over time I will get a bigger faster server in the datacenter
and then make it permanent. Probably with some sort of raid or hardware
mirror config and fibre based storage. I am going out on a limb here but
is there fairly excellent support for QLogic or Emulex fibre controllers?
