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.
