What exactly is the task of this box?
He said, My intention is to load CentOS-4 complete and use the system as a development/backup box.
If it's a mission critical oracle DB server, then you might want to re-evaluate your medications. If it's a home webserver you'll be okay.
As for sanity..... Floppy: Sony MPF920-Z-121 ? wtf?
Other than a bios upgrade, when was the last time you looked at a floppy?
If I need a floppy for that, I usually burn it to CD. But I was looking for one a few weeks ago.
Exactly John - data i have collected from personal experience; How long my machines have each had a floppy drive (in the past) : ~12y Number of times i've needed on: ~12
How long my new machines have all been floppy-less: ~5 weeks Number of times i've needed one since then: 4
Damn the irony!
