This might give us an impression about stability and scalability. Compaq has provides some documentation on Linux on Proliant; thought it applies to the smaller Proliant models only (1850 and 1600). This makes me wonder: * Does any of you have experience running Linux on Proliant 5500? If so: did it run well? Any hints? * Does any of you have experience running Linux with the smart2 driver? If so: did it run well? Any hints? * Is any specific Linux distribution easier to use than others? (SuSe 6.1 seems to have built in support for smart2). Thanks, Rolf :.˛mkabzwmb˛mbz_^nrzh&zvy杶ii
