Yes, I DO want to try it. But it will take me some time to prepare for the conversion. I want to do a clean install, so planning is required to be able to move over all my crap, mail server settings, etc., etc. Also thinking of buying a matched pair of SATA drives (newegg has some nice prices on 160 gig WD and Seagate SATA drives) and using Linux's raid capability to do a mirrored pair, when I do go to Centos 5. But that's not going to happen in the immediate future. -- ---- Fred Smith -- fredex at fcshome.stoneham.ma.us ----------------------------- "Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." ------------------------------ Matthew 7:21 (niv) ----------------------------- -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
