Thanks for the feedback John
I had a look at Clark Connect, but they don't really have anything to
offer me. I am attempting to build a cheap Samba file server with large
capacity and reasonable redundancy. Throughput isn't an issue, and I
don't need any services other than Samba on it.
I can't justify forking out for a new piece of hardware, but have a
bunch of components that will do the job if I can get them to play nicely.
From you reply I take it that IDE controllers that use a Promise HPT
(HighPoint?) chipset are supported by Linux. Is that the case?
Regards,
Langdon
