Thanks every one for putting so much effort in your responses, we have ordered one to test with. Fwiw, why it is 12V and using other voltages was way off topic. We are using 12V due to interoperability requirements. The environment it is going into has on pair of redundant line to 12V power supplies and an internal battery backup. There all other internal components operating at this 12V level. That being said, we are trying to reduce the current draw of every device vs. production and development costs (nice parametric equation in excel...). Lastly, every piece of "compiled by us" goes through extra certification (certify source, dev, test, production binaries = $$$), so we are not going to recompile the kernel, and that is why we choose RHEL/Centos, as they are binary compatible and reviewed. -Jason Pyeron -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- - - - Jason Pyeron PD Inc. http://www.pdinc.us - - Principal Consultant 10 West 24th Street #100 - - +1 (443) 269-1555 x333 Baltimore, Maryland 21218 - - - -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- This message is for the designated recipient only and may contain privileged, proprietary, or otherwise private information.
