Yup, very nice boxes. Come in a variety of sizes and capabilities. They even sell SLED with them and I highly recommend it for a server. Dell's high mid to high end Poweredge servers are industrial grade, and built to last. I still know where there is one with SuSE Linux 7.0 running from the original installation I did on it when 7.0 was just released. The machine had a nic burned out by a lightning strike and replaced. Other than that its been running all these years, a single purpose machine secured behind a firewall with no reason to update either the hardware or the software. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
