To help make the new server a possibility I have four 2Gig Seagate SCSI LVD
drives I would like to donate.

Not in the truck.  I have a clean running 400cid to put into the truck
now, but haven't moved over the turbos, exhaust, etc as of yet.

The 383 stroker never made it into the truck, dyno only.

thanks for playing
the C500 outperforms the PIII 500 in intel's own tests
at 1/3 the price

> of 128MB of RAM. 256 is better. Use Linux if you like, but the robustness

yes
more ram is better
but a linux server does not need the kind of ram to do the same job as
an NT box would
128 would be lots (don't forget to use the install parameter for large ram)

> and ease of administration of an NT small business server can't be beat.

NT SBS is a "crock of poo"
nowhere near the stabilty of a properly setup linux system
and not as easy to administer remotely
I wouldn't want to depend on it for a critical application, especially on a
remote site

total crap
never run a server that requires more than 3 concurrent accesses on IDE
it can't keep up
I would never run a server on IDE
9 GB LVD SCSI IBM drives cost ~$300 US here
6ms access times and ultra reliable

Fujitsu is one of the cheapest drives / size around
Most reliable: IBM hands down
I have NEVER had an IBM drive fail during it's service life

> lower, but you only get what you pay for. Buy a good brand name
> motherboard - I use DFI and won't touch Acer, Asus, or Gigabyte. Don't

more crap
I tried DFI stuff once
I bought 6 of their highest end dual pentiums at one time
during the 1 year warrantee period 9 out of 6 went back for replacement
yes 9 out of 6 -- some required multiple replacements

I only use Asus or intel boards in critical systems
they work

most of the time
the best:total total crap is usually about 2:1 price but still not worth
saving the money for the amount of pain it causes

SCSI 40x cds good name brand ( I use Pioneer or Toshiba)
tape backups Sony or Exabyte scsi
