Has anyone tried installing 0.9.3 on a D-class? Are all the interface cards you care about supported with linux drivers? 2) can someone confirm C2300 disk array == "Cascade" from 1991-93? If so, it has utilities/daemon running that monitors the health of the array. I highly doubt that utility will ever get ported since it needs kernel driver support for a non-existant LUN 5 or 7 (I forgot). Consider replacing the array with SCSI JBOD. You'd get an order of magnitude increase in storage capacity and performance. > Can anyone confirm that this is going to work under parisc-linux, > I'd like to see a "success story" before I rip out hpux and install Linux > =) yeah - that's a good idea. grant
