I have no options on the hardware. It would be a great solution hardware wise but software is being a bit of a pain at this time. Johnny - thanks for the info. I actually have debian booted on the device but then EVERYTHING is so much different on debian than centos. I was also trying a redhat 9 install and put a 2.6 kernel on it. However, I realize this is not the best solution. BUT - to try it out and get something working with the other programs I need I thought that might be a valid short term path to check things out. Thanks guys, Jerry
